This is pretty tortuous. At the very least a few commas, to clarify the parsing, would be helpful. If I understand the grammar correctly (and I am not convinced that I do), I think this could be simplified as

"When the constructor is evoked, a Window pointer must be stored on the newly created object. This is a pointer to the Window object within whose scope the constructor was invoked.

(That's still kind of involved and unpleasant, but closer to something that is parseable.)
