Is there a way to convert HDC (afxwin.h) to WORD (unsigned short)? I tried to use static_cast and C style cast but both it doesn't help. Anyone have idea?

HDC x;
WORD y = static_cast<WORD>(x);

[invalid type conversion]

HDC x;
WORD y = (WORD)x;

[warning C4302: 'type cast': truncation from 'HDC' to 'WORD']
