   lTopWindows = ""
   hNext = hFirst
   While hNext
      lTopWindows = lTopWindows:"Text = ":cWndinfo(hNext, 0):", ":"Style = ":cWndinfo(hNext, 2):@TAB
      hNext = cWndinfo(hNext, 6)
   EndWhile

   Return StrTrim(lTopWindows)
#EndFunction

; Get the desktop window.
hDeskTop = DllCall(DirWindows(1):"user32.dll",long:"GetDesktopWindow")
hTopLevel = cWndinfo(hDeskTop, 8) ; First child of the desktop
