Handle of the window that owns the container.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
< 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
The container owner window should have CS_DBLCLKS in its class style. Otherwise some container functions will not work.
LContainer::Initialize must be called before calling this function.
Required DLLs and Libraries
This example shows the minimum requirements to start using some container.
