Get native Window handle from control

Description

I would like to port a Winforms desktop app which uses a native lib to render video - so the app should have different code for different platforms, but I was unable to find a way to get an IntPtr Windows handle from e.g. a BoxView.

Public API Changes

I do not know where this functionality should be added…

Intended Use-Case

In Winforms we can do something like this:

_libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd(mediaPlayer, panelVideo.Handle); // Render video on Windows in a panel control

It would be very useful to have a similar feature in Maui - if it’s not already available.

I think we only have this on a window level now, but you’re asking on a control level, right?

Yes, that’s correct.
