IsChild

The IsChild function tests whether a window is a child window or descendant window of a specified parent window. A child window is the direct descendant of a specified parent window if that parent window is in the chain of parent windows; the chain of parent windows leads from the original overlapped or pop-up window to the child window.

BOOL IsChild(
  HWND hWndParent,  // handle to parent window
  HWND hWnd         // handle to window to test
);
 

Parameters

hWndParent

Handle to the parent window.

hWnd

Handle to the window to be tested.

Return Values

If the window is a child or descendant window of the specified parent window, the return value is nonzero.

If the window is not a child or descendant window of the specified parent window, the return value is zero.
