Obtain a Window/Application Handle

Hi,
I know already this is a really stupid question but how do you obtain a
handle to an application or a window in C#. Formerly I used
Application.Han dle in Delphi so I'm looking for the equivalent in C#
TIA

Hi,
Use the .Handle property of a form to get its window handle.
But, I am not sure what an application handle is in Delphi.

I have 30 - 40 type of different window. For each type I need about 20 instances of the window. When I try to create them, I get "Error creating window handle" My guess is there is a maximum number of window handle, because if I reduce to about 2 instances of each window, it can run. But not 20 instances of each window. Does anyone know what the problem is? is it really because it exceeds the maximum number of window handle?
