What kind of application?

Take a look at AfxGetInstanceHandle().

It's not an MFC app, it's a borland app.

The hWndParent parameter should be the handle to the Parent window of the window. If the window has no parent you can enter HWND_DESKTOP.

Do you mean the HINSTANCE of your program?
It is a parameter of you winmain function. Just save it to a global variable or somewhere else.
