variable help

I made a variable later in my code, but earlier in the code I need to call it, how do I do this? its the hwnd of my windows application.

Something like this:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    HWND my_window_handle = nullptr ;

    for( int i = 0 ; i < 100 ; ++i )
    {
         if( my_window_handle ) ::ShowWindow( my_window_handle, SW_SHOW ) ;

         // ...

         if( my_window_handle == nullptr )
             my_window_handle = ::FindWindow( nullptr, "some top-level window's title" ) ;


         // ...

         if( my_window_handle ) ::ShowWindow( my_window_handle, SW_HIDE ) ;

         // ...
    }
}
