Name
IWin32Window
Synopsis
This interface is implemented by classes that wrap a system window.
Most visual classes in the Windows Forms framework ultimately wrap a
Win32 window, and this interface is implemented by
Control
to support that. It provides the
Handle
property to retrieve the underlying HWND
for the window.
Note that not everything that is apparently a window is actually a window. For example, all the components of the Win32 ExplorerBar are actually rendered into a single Win32 window.
public interface IWin32Window { // Public Instance Properties public IntPtr Handle{get; } }
