My program can have many different windows open at one time, I need to figure out which window the mouse is over, I know I've done something like this before but I think it was in Visual Basic. Is there a way to get a number representing the Z-order of a window? Something like this "number = GetZOrder( hWnd )"

Try the WindowFromPoint or ChildWindowFromPoint(Ex) functions.
