How do I get access to the parent window native pointer?

Question

Under Windows:
I need to get access to the native pointer for an applications frame (in this case a JFrame).
I need to do this because I want to display property pages in a native dialog box. These property pages are supplied by driver software, are themselves native, and require a valid CWnd handle in order to become active and therefore visible.
Hence I need access to the native peer. Is there a way to do this?
