Difference between...

I'm new to windows programming, and therefore want to know the difference between a parent window and an owner window?

I've already had a look at that but it isn't complete to me

The word Parent / Owner is most often the same .


When the window has the WS_CHILD style set it is the child window to the parent . So you can consider the ascendant window as the parent / owner window

There is a function Getparent() documentation of which can be found below .
