Hi,
Is there a way to get the Win32 Window Handle (HANDLE HWND) of GTK
window/widget in the windows port of GTK?
Many Thanks for your replies,

I'm trying to trim down GTK runtime to the minimum possible.
I've read a Tor mail in this list of a month ago about this topic and
applied its suggestions.
My starting point was the bundle.

translations...

I'm trying to port a program which previously used gtk-x11 so that it will

The intl.dll is what would otherwise have been called
I build it as intl.dll to keep backward
compatibility with older versions of gettext where the official way to
build for Windows was with MSVC, and that process produced a DLL
called intl.dll.

Well, Explorer is obviously a part of Windows, it is not a 3rd-party

Well, I'm new to the list, so I begin my post with a question.
