How do I do this in Max2D when initialized with the Graphics command?

Method 1 (Can sometimes fail if other window is active):

Graphics 640, 480, 0, 60
Local hWnd:Int = GetActiveWindow()

Method 2 (Direct3D Only)

Graphics 640, 480, 0, 60
Local hWnd:Int = Primarydevice.hwnd

Method 3 (Error proof)

Graphics 640, 480, 0, 60
If cfgRenderer = 1 Then ' OpenGL
     tmpClass$ = "BBGLContext Window Class"
ElseIf cfgRenderer = 2 Then ' Direct3D
     tmpClass$ = "BBDX7Device Window Class"
EndIf

Local hWnd% = FindWindow(tmpClass$, "BlitzMax Application")
