Handle to a window

[JJ]

Hi All,

How can I get the handle to a window in c#? I did notice that for a
form in C# there is a hwnd property, is this one and the same?

Thanks,

JJ

You question is too large for possible answer!

JJ, you can use the Handle property which is inherited from the Control
class, it is a windows handle. What hwnd property are you referring to?

Ok so if I have a user control and I need its handle I would refer to in the
following manner:

uint hWnd = usercontrolName.Handle();

Correct?

An article mentioned that you can't get a handle to a window outside your
app but have to use IntPtr instead.

See I am trying to get a handle to a usercontrol and pass it into an API
call.
