[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] gdigrab: Allow capturing a window by its handle

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Lena via ffmpeg-devel:
> x11grab can capture windows by their ID, but gdigrab can only capture
> windows by their names, internally calling FindWindowW to lookup its
> handle.
> 
> This patch simply allows the user to specify a window handle directly.

This won't even compile due to the extra '+'.
