Description

The function simple-pane-handle returns the handle of pane in the system that displays it, if there is an underlying window.

On Microsoft Windows handle is the hwnd of pane.

On X11/Motif, handle is the windowid of the main part of pane (type Window in the X library).

If pane is not displayed, or if pane does not have an underlying window, then handle is nil. Note that layouts do not always have an underlying window.

Use this function with caution: in general, drawing and moving of CAPI windows should be done through the CAPI.
