Try this:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSWindow_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSWindow/initWithWindowRef:

Then you send a contentView message to the NSWindow instance you got. Note that that gives you "the window’s content view, the highest accessible NSView object in the window’s view hierarchy." If that's not the one you need, you'll have to figure out how to get the subviews (answer via google!) and pick the right one.
