Rendering to device context (HDC)

[fasecero]

Hello, I've bought the professional edition of Leadwerks and I'm starting with the help file. I can see that the first step is to create a Window object and assign to it a Context object where everything its drawn.

I am a Windows winapi programmer and I would like to know if I can redirect the rendering from the Leadwerks Context object to a GDI device context (HDC) so I can render the output in a custom window created by me or in anywhere else where I want to render the content. If this isn't possible I am at the wrong place. Thanks in advance.

You actually can. It's not part of the official API but there is a command that creates a custom window based on a HWND you provide. This is how the editor works. If you check Window.win32.h you will find the command.

Note this means you are responsible for all window and keyboard input / events.
