Well, what do you have? A CWnd*? Nothing? You could probably benefit from ::FindWindow()[^] or ::EnumWindows()[^].

What window? Is one of your application windows? Please provide details. :)

You approach the window gently, and say: "Hi Window, may I please have your handle? Thanks!". Seriously though, you need to provide more information than that to get an answer that can be of use. :)

See if the following helps you. CWnd::GetSafeHwnd - Returns m_hWnd, or NULL if the this pointer is NULL.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Brother.. Give details correctly... Normally in visual programming all controls like list control,button everything is considered as a window. Specify the need ... ------------ Thanking you ------------

But the OP should help us help him. He needs to give us more information. I can ask him the following: Which window's handle do you need? Is that window a part of your application? Is it the window of an application that you are spawning? Is it a control that is within a window that you own? There are too many unknowns for us to answer. These guys are very helpful, but the OP needs to be precise. He should read the guidelines[^] :) [Post edited: I realised you weren't the OP :rolleyes: ]
