Also, 2D elements might look blurred with this switched on. The resulting rendering quality also depends on the hardware and driver you are using, your program might look different on different hardware with this. So if you are writing a game/application with AntiAlias switched on, it would be a good idea to make it possible to switch this option off again by the user. The value is the maximal antialiasing factor requested for the device. The creation method will automatically try smaller values if no window can be created with the given value.

For Windows, set this to the HWND of the window you want. The windowSize and FullScreen options will be ignored when using the WindowId parameter. Default this is set to 0. To make Irrlicht run inside the custom window, you still will have to draw Irrlicht on your own. You can use this loop, as usual: \code while (device->run()) { driver->beginScene(video::ECBF_COLOR | video::ECBF_DEPTH, 0); smgr->drawAll(); driver->endScene(); } \endcode Instead of this, you can also simply use your own message loop using GetMessage, DispatchMessage and whatever. Calling IrrlichtDevice::run() will cause Irrlicht to dispatch messages internally too. You need not call Device->run() if you want to do your own message dispatching loop, but Irrlicht will not be able to fetch user input then and you have to do it on your own using the window messages, DirectInput, or whatever. Also, you'll have to increment the Irrlicht timer. An alternative, own message dispatching loop without device->run() would look like this: \code MSG msg; while (true) { if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); if (msg.message == WM_QUIT) break; } // increase virtual timer time device->getTimer()->tick(); // draw engine picture driver->beginScene(video::ECBF_COLOR | video::ECBF_DEPTH, 0); smgr->drawAll(); driver->endScene(); } \endcode However, there is no need to draw the picture this often. Just do it how you like. */ void *WindowId; //! Specifies the logging level used in the logging interface. /** The default value is ELL_INFORMATION.
