I believe BlitzPlus uses OpenGL.

According to the documentation for BlitzPlus, SystemProperty does not admit the "AppHWND" or "DirectInput7" options.
http://blitzbasic.com/bpdocs/command.php?name=SystemProperty&ref=2d_cat

If you want to retrieve the HWND of your program, you can use a userlib for FindWindow:
- User32 userlib (has FindWindow)
- FindWindow description (MSDN)

;After installing the userlib...
hwnd = FindWindow( "", "MyWindowTitle" )

Blitzplus -can- use OpenGL, but I thought it still defaulted to DirectX

It defaults to DirectX 1 (not 7), but can use OpenGL or a native software driver. Blitz Plus also does not use Direct Input for the keyboard or mouse. It uses WM_INPUT.

thank you for your response, I wanted to detect a xbox 360 joystick (joystick or name joy, xinput) properly with these functions, which works in Blitz3D, but I do not see how to do without it in BLITZ + .....

You might be able to write a user lib to handle it.
