window_handle

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). The table below shows the platforms supported along with what they return:

Platform Returns
Windows Window HWND
macOS NSWindow class
Ubuntu (Linux) XWindow handle
HTML5 Canvas ID

 

Syntax:

window_handle();

 

Returns:

Pointer

 

Example:

win_id = windows_handle();

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