HWND

how can I get HWND of my directX window?

Please read the API docs. There's a ExposedVideoData structure you can access.

ok thanks...

Code: Select all

video::SExposedVideoData* evd = g_driver->getExposedVideoData();
	
	HWND hwnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(evd->D3D9.HWnd);

so seems like I need to know which api (Dx8, Dx9, opengl) I am using right?

Yes, but there is the IVideoDriver::getDriverType() method that will tell you what driver type you are using...

You need to know the driver type anyway, because the code using this handle is driver dependant. However, all Window handles are located at the same place, so there's not much difference when just using this one handle.

I wonder are you planing to implement DX10, 11 etc? I guess people are going to start using windows 7 in next year.

I'm using Windows 7 and Irrlicht works fine.

no I mean it uses DX9 interface.. what about DX10, DX11 implmentation..

I doubt that you need it, but anyway: Which feature of DX11 do you need?

dehseth · Post by **dehseth** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 7:35 pm

I haven't used vista/win 7 yet and I only work with dx9. So there's no specific function(s) I need right now. I just wonder will there be any kind of implementation in future?

If you want, you can simply output DX10 on startup. Since you don't need a special feature, it will just be the same.

Code: Select all

video::SExposedVideoData* evd = g_driver->getExposedVideoData();
   
   HWND hwnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(evd->D3D9.HWnd);

It don't work. You maybe upload a example. Thanks

That's not going to get you much help. Could you post more of the code so we can see what's "not working"? It's likely that the problem lies somewhere else. I've used getExposedVideoData() for several programs and everything works fine.
