function that returns a handle to the main window 1

[bio4ema]

hello.

is there a (simple) function that returns a handle to the main window (of type HWND) of a c++/mfc program ?

i tried using the Process.MainWindowHandle property and the IConsole2::GetMainWindow() method but couldn't quite get either of them to work...

thanks, b.

Use AfxGetMainWnd(). This probably won't return the handle to the window directly, but you can work with this and get it somehow.

CMainFrame* pFrame = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();

You can use AfxGetMainWnd() virtually anywhere in an MFC project.
