Hi

Does anybody know how to use OIS with the GLUT framework for opengl. The problem I seem to be having is with the InputManager creation. I passed a window handler that I got from

Code: [Select]

        HWND hWnd;
hWnd = FindWindow("FREEGLUT", "WindowTitle");

But I don't know if that counts as the opengl window made with GLUT or the console window in the background which GLUT runs from. When I run the program the opengl stuff shows but the console shows the error "The sent HWND is not valid!" Is there a way of checking which handle I am sending because I know I can't pass a console window handle?

Thanks

Nevermind, found the problem. When converting HWND to a string I forgot to cast it to size_t.
Silly me

Hi,
I want to use OIS in my GLUT project as well, but I use it on Linux too. Is it possible to use it that way? How can I init OIS?

Thanks...

You need to pass in the X11 window handle on Linux, not sure how you get that from Glut, but likely is possible.

GLUT doesn't have a get handle function. With windows I used the windows api to get the handle, its actually a bit messy because you have to pass the window name to it. But anyway if there is a linux equivalent to #include <windows.h> then you'll have to use that.

sorry, to push that old thread:
I am also looking for a way to get the GLUT handle in linux.
What is the equivalent to the win version?
Thx!
