Is there any way to obtain a reference to a control instance if i have a
handle to that control?

You can use the static FromHandle method of the Control class.

Just stating the obvious: It must be a control in your app.

John,

As Nick pointed out it has to be a control in your application.

If you are looking at subclassing a window you can use NativeWindow class.
