You can try isWindowVisible and IsWindowObscured functions to tell that, however the later one is actually detects if a window is obscured. but the previous one, if the window is visible but obscured,, shall return true. Thank you. You wrote;: How do you determine if a control is visible or not?? I have an application that tabs through controls that are not visible. If I could tell whether each control was visible or not, I could design some logic to help in the navigation.
