Found two utilities to easily show the properties of any window.
WinDowse - Advanced Windows Analyser - v5.1, September 9, 2003
From GREATIS Software, authors of RegRun and other shareware.
http://greatis.virtualave.net/windowse.htm
WinSpy++ v1.6
From Catch22 Productions, authors of free HexEdit (one of several by
that name) and Supercalc, a nice expressions calculator with computer,
scientific, and fraction modes.

Either of these will serve my immediate purposes, but does anyone have
something even better?
Thanks,

(WinDowse site excerpts)
An extremely convenient tool for obtaining necessary technical
information about any window. Place a mouse cursor on a window, and
WinDowse will show all parameters [and will allow modifying some] of
the window and window class including:
"Window" tab
• text, caption or resource ID
[ID, handles, position, etc.]
"Class" tab
• class name
[style, handles, etc.]
"Parents" tab
• list of parent hierarhy
"Children" tab
• list of children
"Digger" tab
• list of windows placed under the mouse cursor
"Graphics" tab
[position, color, coordinates]
• screen capture tools: display, zoom, copy, save
[Other tabs: Tree, Modules, Executable]
All parameters can be shown in hexadecimal, decimal or binary formats.
Upon activation, Windowse displays a continous readout as the user
moves the mouse about the screen - switching back and forth between
separate or nested windows. At any time the continuous readout can be
frozen by a click of the mouse, and the data for that window studied
in detail. Windowse also allows results to be copied directly to the
clipboard. Each field of the analysis is supplied with
context-sensitive help explaining "what is", and containing references
to WinAPI functions.

WinSpy++ is a handy programmer's utility which can be used to select
and view the properties of any window in the system. WinSpy is based
around the Spy++ utility that ships with Microsoft Visual Studio.
WinSpy++ can obtain the following window properties:
Window Class and Name.
Window procedure address.
All window styles and extended styles.
Window properties (set using the SetProp API call).
Complete Child and Sibling window relationships.
Scrollbar positional information.
Full window Class information.
