    Hi I have a CString containing the hexidecimal handle to a window. For example 00010AC2. I want to obtain an actual HWND from it to pass to a function. Transmit(HWND hWindow, ...other variales ). So please how do I convert this hexidecimal CString into a HWND type? Many thanks for your time. :)

        CString szMyString = _T("00010AC2");
        TCHAR *szStop;
        HWND hWnd = (HWND) _tcstol(szMyString, &szStop,16);

        :)
