parent handle/control

[Ayaz Ali]

Hello,
Does anybody know how to get window handle of parent window (the main
application window) in C#. I am trying to set mdiParent of a child window in
child's Load( ). I dont know how to set it to parent container control as
the child is created by an intermediary class that doesnt keep parent's
handle or reference.

regards,
anony

Pass it through.

No, just create a class Pool (singleton) and get the value from there.

Otherwise you will have to traverse the tree of parents. I don't
know how realistic it is, because I favored one of the two approaches above.

Regex might be an overkill in this case.

String object can split its contents:

String[] fields = "a,b,c,d,ef,gh,ikl".Split(',');
