Derek pointed out that all you'd have to do is this:
VOID = getControlInfo( ListLV, {CONTROLINFO_handle})
hListLV = lValues[1]
There seems to be very little overhead compared with...
hListLV = window_handle[ListLV]
...especially since it's only incurred one time, when you create the
control. You'd have to do this thousands of times in order to notice any
difference, and if you have that many controls, you should probably rethink
whatever it is you're writing.
On a related note, if you're really trying to squeeze speed out of your
code, you should use c_func directly, rather than w32Func and avoid some
extra overhead, at least if you're sending lots of messages. The w32Func
apparatus was created to avoid loading extra libraries and routines that
were never used. OTOH, if you only send the occaisional message, it
probably won't make a difference anyways.
