OLE_HANDLE for Visual C++

Syntax

object.hWnd [=long]

 

 

Remarks

Returns the control window handle. 

The Microsoft Windows operating environment identifies each window, form and control in an application by assigning it a handle, or hWnd. The hWnd property is used with Windows API calls. Many Windows operating environment functions require the hWnd of the active window as an argument. 

Notes: Because the value of this property can change while a program is running, never store the hWnd value in a variable.
