· hWnd
Identifies a window. The window handle retrieved is relative to this window, based on the value of the uCmd parameter.
· uCmd
Specifies the relationship between the specified window and the window whose handle is to be retrieved. This parameter can be one of the following values:
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 function examines only child windows of the specified window. It 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 top-level window, the handle identifies the top-level 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 top-level window, the handle identifies the top-level 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 top-level window, the handle identifies the top-level 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 top-level window, the handle identifies the top-level 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 specified window’s owner window, if any. |
| If the function succeeds, the return value is a window handle. If no window exists with the specified relationship to the specified window, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. |
