There is to do the inverse of WindowID()?
To find the #Window from the Handle?

Please help.

Interesting question! Fred? Freeeeeeed...

I really don't think it's possible without keeping track of it yourself.. Although, I could be wrong..

For Window try this :
For Gadget :

Not possible.

The hWnd (WindowID) is a WinAPI and OS exclusive handle, while the #Window in PureBasic is exclusive to PureBasic. If it would be possible to get the PureBasic #Window from a hWnd, that would mean all applications including non-PureBasic applications would have a #Window, but that is ofcourse impossible, because the hWnd's weren't created by PureBasic and so it can't get exclusive access to them.

works here for a normal window

Wtf? That's it? A simple window property? Jesus, there should really be some kind of documentation for all these internal PB tricks.
