IMessengerWindow::HWND
This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
Retrieves a window handle to a messenger window. Not scriptable.
Syntax
HRESULT HWND(
[out,
retval] long* phWnd
);
Parameters
- phWnd
Pointer to a LONG that receives a HWND handle to this messenger window.
Return Value
Returns one of the following values. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.
- S_OK
Success.
- RPC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER
phWnd is a null pointer.
- E_FAIL
Cannot get a window handle.
- E_NOTIMPL
The property cannot be accessed through scripting.
Remarks
Unlike the Messenger application, there can be more than one conversation window and therefore more than one HWND. Each individual conversation window handle (HWND) is retrieved by querying the specified conversation window HWND property.
If called on the IMessengerWindow interface of the application's messenger window, it returns a HWND for the messenger window instantiated by the parent application.
Example
The code example uses a previously instantiated Messenger interface object called communicator to retrieve the window handle from the IMessenger::Window property. The window handle is displayed in a console window if it is retrieved without error. In the event of an error, the communicator object raises a COM exception that is caught and displayed in the console window.
if (communicator != null)
{
IMessengerWindow messengerWindow;
try
{
messengerWindow = (IMessengerWindow)communicator.Window;
Console.WriteLine("Messenger Window: " + messengerWindow.HWND.ToString());
}
catch (COMException GWCE)
{
Console.WriteLine(GWCE.ErrorCode.ToString());
}
}
