window handle
Author
Hey all,
I have window A.i want to create a button in that window, so i use the function
CreateWindowEx(NULL, // extended style
"button", // class
"Push Me", // text on button
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON,
10,10, // initial x,y
100,24, // initial width, height
main_window_handle, // handle to parent
(HMENU)(100), // id of button, notice cast to HMENU
hinstance, // instance of this application
NULL); // extra creation parms
everything is ok except that i need the handle of window A,how can i get it?
Thanks in advance.
If you have ''A'' then you don''t need ''A''?! In the create function where you have main_window_handle, this is the parent window which is where you would put ''A''.
Incidentally, window ''A'' will be returned from a previous CreateWindowEx call, or some other function for getting window handles (like FindWindow or something).

Some pseude code to illustrate what JY said:
main_window_handle = CreateWindowEx(...''main window''...);
button_handle = CreateWindowEx(...''button''...);
You should always store the return values of the CreateWindowEx function... how else do you problerly free the resource via DestroyWindow(handle) ???
main_window_handle = CreateWindowEx(...''main window''...);
button_handle = CreateWindowEx(...''button''...);

that''s done via the window''s msg proc, which has an HWND passed to it. for normal Windows apps, i rarely have a need to store an HWND except for convenience. i always check the return value for validity though.
