ah.

well, to be equally honest, I have hardly done any of that UI keeping up to
speed
either.  but, in my usage of hotspotclicker, which seeks to grab the control
ID of any given window in order to help it's verification/validation
process, I have seen quite a few situations where it's set to 0, which it
does when it's the same value as the handle, to invalidate it as useful
criteria for window validation.  which was what prompted my other thoughts.
