Get a Windows Handle
Description
Get the Windows handle of a window or the R process.
Usage
getWindowsHandle(which = "Console")
Arguments
which |
A string (see below), or the number of a graphics device window |
Details
getWindowsHandle gets the Windows handle or process ID. Possible choices for
which are:
"Console" | The console window handle. |
"Frame" | The MDI frame window handle. |
"Process" | The process pseudo-handle. |
"ProcessId" | The process identifier. |
| A device number | The window handle of a graphics device |
These values are not normally useful to users, but may be used by developers making add-ons to R.
A zero is returned for the Frame handle if not running in MDI mode,
for the Console handle when running Rterm, for any unrecognized
string for which, or for a graphics device with no
corresponding window.
Currently other windows (help browsers, etc.) are not accessible through this function, but there are plans to make them available later.
Value
A one element integer vector holding the Windows handle.
