Get HWND?

How do I get the HWND of the Torque window? The way I am trying to get it doesn't seem to be working:
When I am debugging, 'w' and 'win' are both NULL so something is wrong. Also, this code is getting called last in StandardMainLoop::init() so is there a chance that the window doesn't exist at that point causing it to fail and crash? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
Win32Window* w = (Win32Window*) PlatformWindowManager::get()->getFirstWindow(); Win32Window *win = dynamic_cast<Win32Window*>(w); result = win->getHWND() ;

P.S. Don't forget to add needed includes, like so:

GuiCanvas* canvas = dynamic_cast<GuiCanvas*>(Sim::findObject("Canvas"));
Win32Window *pWindow = canvas ? dynamic_cast<Win32Window*>(canvas->getPlatformWindow()) : NULL;
if(pWindow)
result = pWindow->getHWND();P.S. Don't forget to add needed includes, like so:
.. at the top of file #include "gui/core/guiCanvas.h"
