[Solved] How to convert integer to a handle?

[sethmachine]

Hi,

Edit: Figured it out. There is "GetHandleId." Tried looking for it, but for some reason it doesn't get highlighted as a native function, and it's not listed. But it works.

I'd like to be able to cast handles into child classes (e.g. region, button, dialog, etc.).

This guy provides a way to cast some agents into some handles but not all (regrettably the only useful conversions might be agent <-- unit/item).

But he provides a wealth of functions to turn any integer into a handle

Is there a way to turn any handle into an integer, e.g.

I2Region(H2I(myHandle)) //would give me the region that this handle represents

btw the latest JNGP will highlight it just fine. If you want to use the older version, you should just copy the tesh folder from the newest one and then replace your current tesh folder (or you can just use looking_for_help's new tesh, which works pretty well already).
