Window / Get win32 window handle (HWND) *SOLVED*

But using SFML to create a DirectX window is not the best choice, almost everything in sf::Window is based on OpenGL.



Is anybody already aware of any problems I might encounter that make this combination (D3D + SFML) unusable? Could I be taking a dead end path?


Basically, I did not start with SFML and then decide on DX instead of GL. I pretty much started with DX since I have much more experience with it and then discovered SFML. I really like the SFML library but I prefer D3D to OpenGL. I would just like to use sf::Window to clean up my window creation and manipulation code and I have always planned on keeping all of the rendering firmly in my own code, going straight to D3D/GL. Moreso since I plan to use all of the other SFML libraries (Input, Sound, Network) as the only solution for those segments.

Would that be ok or am I missing something from the picture?

Is there any chance this fix will get into SFML 2?

I would really like to use SFML for window management (as well as network and input) cause it cleans up my code nicely but I really need to extract the WindowHandle from it.

I am making a hobby game and I am using DirectX. At some point I plan to use OpenGL as well for non windows platforms but for DX I am forced to modify SFML source every time I upgrade the version. If this very simple functionality would be added in SFML 2.0 that would really open a new range of possibilities for application of sf:Window.

So, any chance?
