I usually code in C# so C++ isn't my strongest side.. :-)
I'm creating a small C++ application that show a splash screen while the
C# application is loading.
My plan is to pass the splash window handle (hWnd) as a command line
argument when executing the C# application and then close the window with
the C# application when its finished loading. Everything works well
except casting (converting) the hWnd to a string. I've tried what I know
of casting, and using the sprintf function but I can't make functional
code.
If anybody could help me I would be very thankful!

Just out of curiosity, why do you need separate application [moreover,
written in C++] for splash screen? Can't you just create another window
from main C# application and show it?

The C# application will be running on some pretty old machines.
It's also somewhat large so on these machines it takes about 20 seconds to
start :-(
Several users will launch the application several times because apparently
nothing is happening...
This C++ application launches instantly and shows the splash screen until
the C# application is finished loading.

Btw, I'm very embarrassed about this question now I'm finished... :-)
