You don't! There's no direct relationship between the two things.

Dave's reply is correct, of course; there is no one-to-one mapping between
window handles and module handles so going from module to window is
problematic.

That said,

1) GetWindowThreadProcessId() will map a window to its owning process and
return a process id
2) OpenProcess() takes a process id and returns a process handle
3) EnumProcessModules() takes a process handle and returns a _set_ of
handles; 1 for each module in the process

If you go that route, don't forget to release any resources (handles) you
allocate.

Also, realize that your success in steps 2 and 3 depends on the security
context in which you try to get that information and the security context of
the target process

Regards.
