Thank-you, even if what you said was also important, it didn't solve
my problem.

Hi, I try to do a bitwise operation to see if Alignment containt
DT_LEFT, but it always return false. Anyone have an idea why this
doesn't work?

I've already answered you in another newsgroup.

dt_left is dt_top is the default zero value

the problem is with your expectation that dt_left signifies a bit position
to be set
and operated on
it is all bits zero not any one bit set, it is the empty set
