Function Reference

HWnd

Converts an expression into an HWND handle.

HWnd ( expression )

Parameters

Return Value

Remarks

Double numbers can not be converted to an HWND.
No literal string should be converted to an HWND because there is no guarantee that a given window will have the same HWND ever again. This is not strictly forbidden, but it is a programming mistake and should be avoided.
