qnx_get_window(3)

💖 qnx_get_window — from the Allegro manual ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qnx_get_window — bestie, this is the one that hands you a handle to the window Allegro is using 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

PtWidget_t qnx_get_window(void);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — qnx_get_window retrieves a handle to the window that Allegro is using. That's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly 💅

But wait, there's a lil plot twist you need to know about, and it's giving important: Allegro has an underlying window even if you never set any graphics mode 👀 Like, the window is just there, existing, being a main character, whether you asked for it or not.

The one exception? If you've installed the neutral system driver SYSTEM_NONE — then nah, no underlying window for you, it's gone, periodt 🙈

No cap: if you're relying on this handle, double-check you're not running SYSTEM_NONE, because that window will not be there to hand you 💀

⭐ Sign-off ⭐

This lil page lives in the Allegro manual, version 4.4.3, and it's filed under qnx_get_window(3). Go get that handle bestie, you got this 🫶✨🌸
