    Hi Boris

    In the Hello World Python sample that comes with MapBasic you can find this where we pass a reference to the MapInfo Pro object to Pyhon:

    mapinfoApplication = SYSTEMINFO(SYS_INFO_IMAPINFOAPPLICATION)
    mbAddIn = New_PythonCustomFrameAddin()
    if mbAddIn <> 0 Then
       call InitializePyAddin(mbAddIn, mapinfoApplication, ApplicationDirectory$() + ApplicationName$())
    End if

    You could pass the reference to the HWND in a similar way. I'd expect that you can get to this HWND via one of these functions:
    • WindowInfo( WIN_MAPINFO, WIN_INFO_WND)
    • SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_MAPINFOWND)

    If this isn't what you are looking for, maybe give us some more information on what you are trying to do.

    Hello Boris,

    You can use the MainHwnd property on the IMapInfoPro interface to get the MapInfo Pro main window handle in Python script.

    Thanks
