getting a HWND for a window

what is the best way to get a HWND for a window when inside another window.
i have to get a HWND instead of a CWnd, because im using a callback function
(TimerProc) which reguires a HWND.
or
a way to get a CWnd and them get a HWND from that

thanks

Use GetSafeHwnd();

If you mean you want to get the HWND of a chirldren window for the parent window.
you can use FindWindowEx.
Hope i didn't get you wrong..

From Visual C++ help

"The GetParent function retrieves the handle of the specified child window’s parent window."
HWND GetParent(
HWND hWnd // handle of child window
);
This is want you want????

You can first use GetParent()Member function inorder to get a CWnd object of
the parent.Then using that ...you can find HWND by using GetSafeHwnd()
