window_handle

Returns the id of the game window.

Syntax:

window_handle();


Returns: Pointer


Description

With this function you can get the internal Windows id value (the HWND, a pointer). This function is really only useful for extension writers who need the window handle to call Windows API's in DLL code (the returned pointer should be cast into a string and then in the C++ just cast it to an HWND).

NOTE: This functions is for Windows and Mac OSX only (on Mac OSX it contains a pointer to an NSWindow class).


Example:

win_id = windows_handle();

The above code will store the game window id in a variable.
