Problems with the SDL_WINDOWID hack in Win32

SDL Development
1

Hello,

I’ve been trying to use the SDL_WINDOWID hack
in Win32 but failed to make it work. :frowning:

Aparently SDL is ignoring it and it always opens
a new window.

I do all the usual stuff, convert an HWND to an
integer and put it into the environment before
calling SDL functions.

Any clues ?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo Pinto

You should set the variable using _putenv() and BEFORE the first call to
SDL_Init().

That’s what I am doing.

I am doing this on the WM_CREATE message. Should I
wait for the window to be fully created?–

Can you post a minimal example of what you’re trying to do?
