hInstance is no longer defined in Delphi 8 .NET

Question:

It seems that the global variable hInstance is no longer defined in .NET. How do I obtain the instance handle now?

Answer:

HInstance provides a unique instance handle for the application or library. It indicates the handle for a module.
You need to add unit WINUTILS to your uses clause to make the following code work:

h := SysInit.hInstance; // Delphi 2-7
 
 

 
 uses
   WinUtils;
 ..
 h := Borland.Vcl.WinUtils.hInstance(); // Delphi 8
