Hi warthog518!

Use the function IVideoDriver->getExposedVideoData. You'll find the window-handle in SExposedVideoData->hWnd.

s32 irr::video::SExposedVideoData::HWnd

Window handle. Get with for example HWND h = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(exposedData.D3D9.HWnd)

Greetings

He just did give it to you:

Code: Select all

HWND hWnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(exposedData.D3D9.HWnd);

You do that after you create you Direct3D9 device. And if you aren't using a D3D9 device, then change it accordingly. If that doesn't make sense, then you should probably check the documentation.
