Does anyone knows how to get the window system handle of a Blitz3D application?
I want to write a simple DLL in order to display native windows message boxes and controls fromwithin a Blitz3D application but i need the parent window handle

Try these -- "AppHWND" should do it:

Graphics3D 640, 480, 0, 2

Print SystemProperty ("Direct3D7")
Print SystemProperty ("Direct3DDevice7")
Print SystemProperty ("DirectDraw7")
Print SystemProperty ("DirectInput7")
Print SystemProperty ("AppHWND")
Print SystemProperty ("AppHINSTANCE")

MouseWait
End

Thanks a lot!

Kind of off topic but can someone redirect me to the thread about shuting Blitz`s default window that opens at the program startup from an executable. I seem to remember it being related to an applications window handle and I remember someone made a program that you could run your .exe through to change it automatically.

Can you explain the reason you want to do something like that. Any way i don't know the thread you ask ...

Well basically to remove the small but annoying default window that appears when I run a Blitz made game before it goes into fullscreen mode.
