why not try
HWND hWndChild = FindWindow(NULL,"type here your Window name");
SetParent(hWndChild, hWndNewParent);

Good, but wath is default name of Irrlicht window?
I can't see some name parameters in irrlicht help.

the name to use in FindWindow is exactly the one you use in
device->setWindowCaption(L"The name to use");

this said, i'm not sure of what you can do (docking the irrlicht window in another application?). you've to try.

Thanks, I will try it.
My goal is to set irrlicht window as "windowed" control on delphi form of C++Builder application.
I wonder even to put more then one control, but first must example your method

Great - it's work

Code: Select all


#include <Classes.hpp> //needed for FindWindow function in BCB
device->setWindowCaption(L"irrwnd");
HWND hWndChild = FindWindow(NULL,"irrwnd");
SetParent(hWndChild, Form1->Handle);
