Description
This property returns a combination of Win32 API constants (WS_CAPTION, WS_BORDER, etc.) that define the window style. These constants are specified in the dwStyles parameter of the CreateWindowEx function (Windows API).
Using the WndStyles property you can determine which styles a window has.
For a full list of Win32 API constants for window styles and their hexadecimal values, see the Window Styles article in MSDN.
Declaration
TestObj.WndStyles
| Read-Only Property | Integer |
| TestObj | A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section | |||

The property is applied to the following objects:
View Mode
To view this property in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs, activate the Advanced view mode.
Property Value
An integer value that represents a combination of window styles.
Example
The following example shows how you can use the WndStyles property to determine if a window is maximized or minimized.
JavaScript, JScript
function Test()

Log.Message("Notepad window is maximized: " + IsMaximized(wndNotepad));
Log.Message("Notepad window is minimized: " + IsMinimized(wndNotepad));
}
// Returns True if the specified Window is maximized; otherwise False.
function IsMaximized(Window)
{
var WS_MAXIMIZED = 0x01000000;
// Declaring the WinAPI hexadecimal value for the maximized window

}
// Returns True if the specified Window is minimized; otherwise False.

{
var WS_MINIMIZED = 0x20000000;
