Get Window Handle of Window Under Cursor

I'm wondering if getting the window handle of a window underneath the cursor's current position is possible in c++. I'm working on a screenshot program that can take partial screenshots and I think that a feature where you are able to take a screenshot of a window by pressing a hotkey when your cursor is over that window would be useful feature. Any ideas?

The function you're looking for is WindowFromPoint.

The following works:

   POINT P;
   HWND Handle;

   GetCursorPos(&P);

   Handle=WindowFromPoint(P);
