How to get HWND from TDecoratedFrame?

Q. I use Win 32 API all the time. Now I have to do a program using OWL and Win32 API. Now in a TDecoratedFrame class, I have to use an API that
needs hwnd. How do I find that out? Is there any function in TDecoratedFrame that can give me the handle to window (hwnd)?

A.
There are several ways. Use HWindow, use GetHandle, which returns a THandle(an HWND), or, use the * to dereference as in *mydecframe. TWindow overloads the * operator to return an HWND. You can also use the (HWND) typecast. Any of these methods will work. Choose which one you like best.
