About the window Irrlicht draws in
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2003 6:48 am
Hello.
I was looking into making a gui in windows and then make Irrlicht draw in only a part of that window but noticed Irrlicht always creates its own window to draw in. I know Irrlicht has its own gui but I think that's more suitable for in-game gui's whereas I was thinking of making more of an editor which could benefit from the more advanced gui-elements offered in the OS.
The question is more or less if there could be a way for the user to create a window for Irrlicht to draw in? Maybe it doesn't even have to be a window as long as it's a drawable surface. How about just passing a hwnd to Irrlicht, would that work?
