Hello Alan!

Sorry for not being clear enough.
My indicator is using external unmanaged DLL making some specific calculations.
During setup, indicator provides chart window handle to DLL as follow:

Chart cChartWindow = null;
IntPtr iptChartHWND = IntPtr.Zero
(ChartControl != null)
{
 if (ChartControl.PresentationSource != null)
	{
	 cChartWindow	= ChartControl.PresentationSource as System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource;	
	 iptChartHWND	= cMaintWindow.Handle;
	 cChartWindow	= null;	
	}
}

There is also a need to provide similar handle of Control Center Window.
Hence the question: how can I get that handle.

Hope it clarifies.

Hello gma17,

At the following link, under Launching your Window from the Control Center, you’ll see how to grab the control center window. There is no suggested way to get the handle from this window, however since you have the instance of the control center you may be able too.

Hello Alan!

An example you've provided is for AddOns while I've been talking about Indicators.
In any case, I have found the sample for Indicator and based on it, have got required result.
Thank you for the direction.
