Getting HWND of current Process

Question

I have a process in c++ in which I am using window API. I want to get the HWND of own process. Kindly guide me how can I make it possible.

Answer 1

Get your console window

GetConsoleWindow();

"The return value is a handle to the window used by the console associated with the calling process or NULL if there is no such associated console."

Get other windows

GetActiveWindow() might NOT be the answer, but it could be useful
"The return value is the handle to the active window attached to the calling thread's message queue. Otherwise, the return value is NULL." > msdn GetActiveWindow() docs

However, the graphical windows are not just popping up - so you should retrieve the handle from the place you/your app've created the window... e.g. CreateWindow() returns HWND handle so all you need is to save&retrieve it...
