  • Article

static HWND WINAPI GetWindow_I(
  HWND hwndThis,
  UINT32 relation
);

Parameters

  • hwndThis
    [in] Handle to a window. The window handle retrieved is relative to this window, based on the value of the relation parameter.
  • relation
    [in] Unsigned integer that specifies the relationship between the specified window and the window whose handle is to be retrieved. The following table shows the possible values.
    Value Description
    GW_CHILD The retrieved handle identifies the child window at the top of the z-order, if the specified window is a parent window; otherwise, the retrieved handle is NULL. The method examines only child windows of the specified window. The method does not examine descendant windows.
    GW_HWNDFIRST The retrieved handle identifies the window of the same type that is highest in the z-order. If the specified window is a topmost window, the handle identifies the topmost window that is highest in the z-order. If the specified window is a child window, the handle identifies the sibling window that is highest in the z-order.
    GW_HWNDLAST The retrieved handle identifies the window of the same type that is lowest in the z-order. If the specified window is a topmost window, the handle identifies the topmost window that is lowest in the z-order. If the specified window is a child window, the handle identifies the sibling window that is lowest in the z-order.
    GW_HWNDNEXT The retrieved handle identifies the window below the specified window in the z-order. If the specified window is a topmost window, the handle identifies the topmost window below the specified window. If the specified window is a child window, the handle identifies the sibling window below the specified window.
    GW_HWNDPREV The retrieved handle identifies the window above the specified window in the z-order. If the specified window is a topmost window, the handle identifies the topmost window above the specified window. If the specified window is a child window, the handle identifies the sibling window above the specified window.
    GW_OWNER The retrieved handle identifies the owner window for the specified window, if any. This flag does not retrieve a parent window.

Return Values

A window handle indicates success. NULL indicates that no window exists with the specified relationship to the specified window. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This method is an internal version of the GetWindow function.
