I hope this is the correct group
I have an MDI app and I need to interact with a Componnet on one of the
child windows - how do I get a handle to the active window - and for that
matter for any of the windows that are on screen?

"ActiveMDIChild". This will give you the TForm of its active child window.
Once you have the TForm, you can use its "Handle" property to get the window
handle. For instance:
ActiveMDIChild->Handle
...should give you the handle to the currently active child window.

the HWND level. There are other ways to access them at the component level
instead, such as the TWinControl::Controls[] array, and using type-casting
or RTTI to access the desired properties.
