Get Step Window Handle

Retrieve the handle of the window on which the wizard's current step is running and place the result into a new or existing variable. You can then use this information to control window-specific actions (such as maximizing the window, bringing it to the front, or closing it).

Wait, wait, wait... what is a handle?

If you asked a developer this question, he or she would probably give you a definition including concepts such as abstraction, pointer, API, and physical memory. But for our purposes, a handle is a unique numeric identifier for each window currently running on a Windows desktop.

  1. Enter the name of the variable into which you'd like to place the handle

  2. Instruct the wizard how to handle any errors encountered. Read more about error handling.
