Hi,
I am writing a function in a DLL, using Visual C, to be called in a custom action.
The problem is that some APIs need the handle to the parent window (HWND).
Calling a DLL function from a custom action, just a argument (type MSIHANDLE) is passed to the DLL. This type of data is not the same as HWND.
Does anybody know how can I get the parent window handle?

Thank you very much,
Ajawl

Not sure if this is what you need but...


MSIHANDLE hInstall = NULL;
//this returns the handle to the active installation database
hInstall = MsiGetActiveDatabase(hInstall);
