Render to any graphics context to create Windowed applications and tools.

Render to any graphics context to create Windowed applications and tools. This is a feature of Leadwerks that appears in the documentation features section.

 

But how to select the graphic context Leadwerks is going to use to render? Graphics() creates a new window, not allowing to specify a custom precreated window....

 

I want to create a Windowed 3d tool, and for this I want to specify the render window (and not create a new window)... how can I do this?

 

Thanks for your help

You can use CreateCustomBuffer() to use an existing window:

Or you can make your own Windowed GUI in OpenGL.

I would prefer own GUI, since then you are not dependant on the OS look, but can have your own look and feel, like in Blender or 3DSMax.
