IsWindowVisible( hWnd ) -> <lVisible>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARAMETER:
<hWnd> Is the handle that identifies the target window
RETURNS:
<lVisible> is TRUE, if the specified window is visible on the screen
(has the WS_VISIBLE style bit set), or FALSE if not.
DESCRIPTION:
The IsWindowVisible() function determines the visibility state of the
given window. Because the return value reflects the value of the window's
WS_VISIBLE flag, it may be TRUE even if the window is totally obscured
by other windows.
A window possesses a visibility state indicated by the WS_VISIBLE style
bit. When this style bit is set, the window is displayed and subsequent
drawing into the window is displayed as long as the window has the style
bit set.
Any drawing to a window that has the WS_VISIBLE style will not be
displayed if the window is covered by other windows or is clipped by its
parent window.
