Windows - Get HWND from TreeView for GetScrollInfo?
I'm new to Windows programming and trying to get the position of a TreeView's scroll bar.
SCROLLINFO scrollInfo;
ZeroMemory(&scrollInfo, sizeof(scrollInfo));
scrollInfo.cbSize = sizeof(scrollInfo);
scrollInfo.fMask = SIF_TRACKPOS;
tbool gotScrollInfo = GetScrollInfo(poTreeView->Handle, SB_VERT, &scrollInfo);
I get an error:
'BOOL GetScrollInfo(HWND,int,LPSCROLLINFO)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'System::IntPtr' to 'HWND'.
I've looked online and cannot find how to get from the TreeView pointer to an HWND. Windows' documentation assumes you already have the HWND.
I've seen other places where people use TreeView.hwnd or cast TreeView.Handle to an IntPtr - I guess the function used to take that instead of an HWND?
Does anyone know how to do this? this should be super simple, but I can't find the answer.

What language is that? Post your pinvoke call that you are using for GetScrollInfo. Generally, yes, treeView1.Handle is the HWND you are looking for.

The.nettag is useless. What language are you writing your code in? Managed or unmanaged? Where's your declaration forGetScrollInfo()?

Per the Control.Handle documentation:
An IntPtr that contains the window handle (HWND) of the control.
...
The value of the Handle property is a Windows HWND. If the handle has not yet been created, referencing this property will force the handle to be created.
So yes, you can simply type-cast the IntPtr to an HWND, eg:
(HWND)(poTreeView->Handle.ToPointer())
Or
static_cast<HWND>(poTreeView->Handle.ToPointer())
