Re: [GD-Windows] getmainwindow...

[gabor f. <xl...@po...>]

i just wanted to cut winapi appearance to minimum..

it doesn't matter for me if the code for a specific kind of viewport
knows about winapi,
and i can live with the fact that the main-window-code knows
about winapi too,

but i don't want to pass around winapi-related-structures between these
object

for example maybe i'll port this code to a different platform....

i know that maybe for a commercial game project it doesn't pay
off to try to be cross platform,
but this is a free-time/university project... :-)

just to be a bit modular....

and i don't like seeing winapi-code everywhere....
the same for opengl or directx....:-)

btw. findwindow...nice, but you need the window-class too... :-(

i think i'll just define a window-id datatype and cast the WindowHandle to
it and back.
type-safety rules...:-)


bye,
gabor farkas
