    I have a small dialog-based app made with MFC AppWizard. In the dialog class I do some stuff and need to have handle for the window (dialog window). I use ::SetTimer and ::KillTimer and they require the handle (HWND type not CWnd type!) of the app. BTW.. Is there any example of how to use SetWaitableTimer? TIA!

        Better way (IMO), GetSafeHwnd() which does some sanaty checking on the HWND before returning it.
