1. It seems that parent must have been defined (= non-NULL) and must be of "wxWindow *" type:

"parent: A non-NULL parent window. For the platforms where the parent is used for creating the native window (e.g. MSW), this must be the wxWindow corresponding to the parent handle used when creating the native window."

So I have still the problem - how to create "wxWindow *" from HWND?

2. It seems that "wxNativeWindow" or its functions are not exported in wxLua (working with "wxLua-2.8.12.3-Lua-5.1.5-MSW-Ansi.zip" here).

So - any other way?
