How to get handle for UI element in uwp

vaishali sharma 21

I have a UWP App. I need to host multiple windows on my main window. I tried using Win32 API SetParent but it overrides my parent window UI components.

UI elements have no handle (only the main window)
You get them with VisualTreeHelper

I want to use SwapChainPanel to render video in my APP. I am using a cpp api that takes hwnd of View(where video is suppose to be rendered) and renders video on that. We want to adapt this API for our UWP App. Is there a way where I can use SWAPChainPanel or any other UI element which can provide me its Hwnd that I can pass to my cpp API to render the video. Thank you in advance.

I'm afraid currently there are no supported APIs for UWP that accept an HWND.
