✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_windows.h>

HWND al_get_win_window_handle(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

like, that's it. one include, one function, one pointer. iconic minimalism honestly. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so picture this: you've got a display, right? an ALLEGRO_DISPLAY * you're passing in. and this function? it returns the handle to the window that the display you passed is using. that's it, that's the whole function. 🫢

so if you ever need the actual window handle from your Allegro display β€” for whatever your little heart desires β€” this is the function you call. no cap, it just gives you the handle. lowkey the most straightforward function in the whole API. ⭐

ngl, it's giving "short and sweet" and honestly? we respect it. the function said "I have one job" and it did that job. periodt. πŸ’œ

and that's a wrap on al_get_win_window_handle from the Allegro reference manual, bestie β€” go get your window handle, you absolutely ate. πŸŒΈβœ¨πŸŽ€
