al_get_win_window_handle(3alleg5)
β¨ NAME β¨
al_get_win_window_handle β Allegro 5 API π
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 π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#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? π
π DESCRIPTION π
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 β¨
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. π
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 π
Sign-off time π 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. π«ΆππΈ
