Irrlicht in multiple Win32 windows??

Post by Quibbler »

I just want to know if it's possible to make Irrlicht draw inside multiple windows.

For example, I have two views and a splitter control, so I want to render one scene in the upper splitter container window and another scene in the lower splitter window at the same time.

Is it possible ??

That's possible by passing the window pointer in the endscene call. However, it's currently limited to directx.

Could you give me some example code, please?

Do you think OpenGL will work in future versions?

We will have to change the interface. It would be enough to change the window passing to beginScene. However, this was not yet discussed in the dev team, so it will probably not go into 1.4, but a later release.
