Windows handle for form

D

David

Greetings all,

I was wondering how I could reference an open form's
handle? Not sure if I am even saying this corretly.
Basically, I am borrowing code that requires obtaining the
current open form's window handle (hWnd) so that it can be
passed to a function and I have no clue how to even
reference this value so that I may retrieve it. Sort of
beyond my programing abilities.

Can some one help?

Here is the code I got from Dev Ash's Access Web site.

Public Declare Function LoadImage Lib "user32" _
Alias "LoadImageA" _
(ByVal hInst As Long, _
ByVal lpsz As String, _
ByVal un1 As Long, _
ByVal n1 As Long, _
ByVal n2 As Long, _
ByVal un2 As Long) _
As Long

Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _
Alias "SendMessageA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal wMsg As Long, _
ByVal wParam As Long, _
LParam As Any) _
As Long


Public Const WM_GETICON = &H7F
Public Const WM_SETICON = &H80
Public Const ICON_SMALL = 0
Public Const ICON_BIG = 1

'// LoadImage() image types
Public Const IMAGE_BITMAP = 0
Public Const IMAGE_ICON = 1
Public Const IMAGE_CURSOR = 2
Public Const IMAGE_ENHMETAFILE = 3

'// LoadImage() flags
Public Const LR_DEFAULTCOLOR = &H0
Public Const LR_MONOCHROME = &H1
Public Const LR_COLOR = &H2
Public Const LR_COPYRETURNORG = &H4
Public Const LR_COPYDELETEORG = &H8
Public Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10
Public Const LR_LOADTRANSPARENT = &H20
Public Const LR_DEFAULTSIZE = &H40
Public Const LR_LOADMAP3DCOLORS = &H1000
Public Const LR_CREATEDIBHeader = &H2000
Public Const LR_COPYFROMRESOURCE = &H4000
Public Const LR_SHARED = &H8000

Public Function SetFormIcon(hWnd As Long, IconPath As
String) As Boolean
Dim hIcon As Long

hIcon = LoadImage(0&, IconPath, IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16,
LR_LOADFROMFILE)

'// wParam = 0; Setting small icon. wParam = 1; setting
large icon
If hIcon <> 0 Then
Call SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETICON, 0, ByVal hIcon)
SetFormIcon = True
End If
End Function

From what I can tell the function SetFormIcon is looking
for a value for hWnd(hard part) and the path (easy part).

Thanks,
David
