Check out gamehandle.cpp, that contains a handle to the game dll.
Although I'm not positive that this is what you are after and I'd be more
inclined to believe that the handle you require would be for the client.dll.
Because the loading of the client.dll is performed by the engine dll
whatever reference there exists already to the client dll handle isn't
exposed to us. However, I can say with confidence that the name of the
module itself is "client.dll" so you can probably use '::GetModule' to find
the HMODULE for that. I can't see why not at least. Hope I've been of some
help here.

Hi everyone,
I implemented FMOD in our mod about a month or so ago and it has been
wonderful (after completely rewriting that abysmal wrapper that is on the
VDC, I will post an update on that later I promise). Anyway, FMOD is
great,
however, it keeps playing sounds/music even when the game is "out of
focus,"
be it alt-tabbed down or simply when playing in a window and you are
typing
into firefox for example.
So my question is, is there any easy (read non-hackish) way to detect
whether the game window has focus or not? I am thinking of a function that
only gets called when the window has captured the mouse of the user (I
think
i just answered my own question...) but anyway I am just looking for this
elusive entry point to where I can pause/resume my FMOD manager.
P.S. - I am well aware of Win32 functions to do this stuff, but 99.9% of
them require exposure to the underlying win32 framework of the code, of
which, we do not have.
Thanks,
Jon (Killer Monkey)

There's a function somewhere that captures or releases the mouse based
on whether the window is active.
