✨ NAME ✨

al_get_win_window_handle β€” Allegro 5 API πŸ’–

Okay so bestie, you're poking around the Allegro 5 manual, page al_get_win_window_handle(3alleg5), and this is literally the whole vibe right here. One function. One job. Windows handle. Let's go πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_windows.h>

HWND al_get_win_window_handle(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

Like, copy that include exactly, no cap. It's allegro_windows.h, not some other header, okay? πŸ‘‘


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

Returns the handle to the window that the passed display is using.

That's it. That's the whole thing. You hand it an ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *, it hands you back an HWND β€” the handle for the window that display is chillin' in. Main character behavior fr fr ✨

So if you're on Windows and you need to talk to the actual native window behind your Allegro display (iykyk), this is the lil gateway. Very demure, very mindful, very HWND. πŸŽ€

Heads up bestie: this is the Allegro 5 API, and this page lives in the Allegro reference manual. No date stamped on it in the original, so don't come for me about timestamps πŸ™ˆ

Sign-off time πŸ’œ β€” this whole page is straight out of the Allegro reference manual, under the al_get_win_window_handle(3alleg5) header. That's the source, that's the version energy, and there's no date on the footer, so we're leaving it at that. Periodt. πŸ«ΆπŸ’–πŸŒΈ
