# IGameInput::FindDeviceFromPlatformHandle

> IGameInput::FindDeviceFromPlatformHandle

# IGameInput::FindDeviceFromPlatformHandle

<Warning>**Deprecated.** This method was removed in GameInput v1 and is not available in the current API.</Warning>

Retrieves an [IGameInputDevice](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/igameinputdevice) interface based on a matching platform window or file handle.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT FindDeviceFromPlatformHandle(
    HANDLE value,
    IGameInputDevice** device
);
```

### Parameters

*value*   \_In\_\
Type: HANDLE

A platform HANDLE (such as a window handle or device file handle) to match against.

*device*   \_COM\_Outptr\_\
Type: IGameInputDevice\*\*

The returned [IGameInputDevice](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/igameinputdevice) interface.

### Return value

Type: HRESULT

Returns E\_NOTIMPL, as this method was never implemented in v0.

## Remarks

This method allowed applications to find a GameInput device using a Win32 handle associated with that device. It was removed in v1. Use [FindDeviceFromId](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinput/methods/igameinput_finddevicefromid) or [FindDeviceFromPlatformString](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinput/methods/igameinput_finddevicefromplatformstring) instead.

## Version History
