        I would like to use SetCooperativeLevel function in my mfc dialogbox program. It needs the HWND parameter. How can I get this HWND? Please help!

          Doesn't m_hWnd member of CDialog(CWnd to be precise) serve your purpose ?

              Again, you are not giving complete information. - Give code, which is failing for you. - What error its giving ? It doesn't help you, if not able to make us understand your problem.

                  Can you show you dialog class declaration ? Because, if its Cdialog derived class, then this error should not come.

                      Oh dear. I'm really not able to understand, why you are getting this problem. Now, pass first parameter this instead of m_hWnd. To avoid compile error.

                          I was insisting on complete information from start of thread. Again , this error indicates that, code you have pasted is of a global function. And obviously you could not use this pointer there. I was assuming this code is used in one of your dialog function. For using it through global function, you need to have instance of dialog class. Which you can pass as first parameter of said function. Otherwise, post code of function body of InitDirectInput.

                            In fact that the function code is only like this: HRESULT InitDirectInput() { HRESULT hr; if( FAILED( hr = DirectInput8Create( GetModuleHandle(NULL), DIRECTINPUT_VERSION, IID_IDirectInput8, (VOID**)&g_pDI, NULL ) ) ) return hr; if( FAILED( hr = g_pDI->EnumDevices( DI8DEVCLASS_GAMECTRL, EnumJoysticksCallback, NULL, DIEDFL_ATTACHEDONLY ) ) ) return hr; if( NULL == g_pJoystick ) { MessageBox( NULL, TEXT("Joystick not found. The sample will now exit."), TEXT("DirectInput Sample"), MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK ); return 0; return S_OK; } if( FAILED( hr = g_pJoystick->SetDataFormat( &c_dfDIJoystick2 ) ) ) return hr; if( FAILED( hr = g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(this, DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) return hr; So how to solve this problem! Please help!

                              Come on ! Where is dialog class instance ? If dialog is already invoked then use AfxGetMainWnd, to get its handle.

                                  You can get its handle by type-casting it. like

                                      You need to force it to use the overloaded (HWND) casting operator... For the main window's HWND: g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(*AfxGetMainWnd(), DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) For the window's HWND (if this is called within a CWnd-derived class): g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(*this, DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) Note the asterisks dereferencing the CWnd pointers. You can also use this: g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(AfxGetMainWnd()->GetSafeHwnd(), DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) or g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(GetSafeHwnd(), DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) )

                                        Try

                                        SetCooperativeLevel((HWND)*AfxGetMainWnd(),..);

                                        ;)

                                          You need to force it to use the overloaded (HWND) casting operator... For the main window's HWND: g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(*AfxGetMainWnd(), DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) For the window's HWND (if this is called within a CWnd-derived class): g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(*this, DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) Note the asterisks dereferencing the CWnd pointers. You can also use this: g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(AfxGetMainWnd()->GetSafeHwnd(), DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) ) or g_pJoystick->SetCooperativeLevel(GetSafeHwnd(), DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE | DISCL_BACKGROUND ) ) )

                                          I have tried all, the result are *this and GetSafeHwnd() will get error *AfxGetMainWnd() AfxGetMainWnd()->GetSafeHwnd() both without error, but it will get a E_HANDLE after running the SetCooperativeLevel(...). Please help!
