Yes the others are probably thinking "yeah, duh!", but I thank you for your openess wolfstar. The problems with doing it in general, esspecially when your doing it on your own, and your unfamilar with the standard (file format, colorspace, API, ect...) your trying to use or be compatible w...

(2x 8-bits per pixel = 16-bits/p, so the UorV and Y' attributes MUST be 8-bits max each, otherwise we extend into the 32-bit area, yeah?) Yeah thats for RGBA, it's more like only %30 percent when you deal in .RAW RGB888 (not RGBA8888) files and raw .UYVY, anyway, it should proabably be noted that UY...

Well, yeah, but wouldn't it be good that instead of starting up a new GUI controls/objects project we just all contribute to the one project as to make the development centeralized? But I don't know the current status of iGUI as I don't use it, as hex dumps and MS-DOS prompts are good enough for me,...

Hey is this in requard to me mentioning my intrest in Y'UV colorspace in DirectDraw Blt-ing to Notepad? And well, if you need it, heres what I've worked out to be the YUVQUAD structure/typedef (with RGBQUAD comparison): Type YUVQUAD ' Type RGBQUAD V As UByte ' B As UByte U As UByte ' G As UByte Y As...

Don't worry guys, about two years ago it took me six months to read every bit of the OpenGL Specification's Blue and Red books, but when I came out the other end, thinking that making surfaces dissapear that have other surfaces infront of them was a matter of tinkering with BACK_FACEs and FRONT_FACE...

Yeah, when I first saw it I thought DirectX, but 18 days I suppose it would have to be OpenGL, because OpenGL is more accustom to Rapid Application Development than DirectX. Just one question which probably belongs in the Questions section. How do you get OpenGL to render things on top of eachother ...

Yeah, this must of taken a while eh?

Does it use DirectX or OpenGL?

Couldn't you use the Windows API for this or is it an goal of iGUI and BasicScience's project to make this Linux and MacOS compatible?

I originally started writing this example mainly to work out how to draw on DirectDraw 32-bit RGB\RGBA surfaces without using GDI, before advancing on to UYVY overlays, then I thought I'd better share it with the rest of you guys so you can avoid the trouble of working out how to do this exactly as ...

Well after a week of searching, this is the only good one I could find which is in C++ but hey it's a start.

Hi, I was wondering where I might find an C example of DirectDraw Overlay Surfaces, an link to donwload the old DirectX 7.0 SDK or aleast some documentation on DirectDraw Overlay Surfaces. Because right now I'm writing an example application for FreeBASIC that works like Xfire (overlapps any DirectX...

You can now download an updated version of the example above which displays an actual bitmap instead of just text using an GDI back buffer from http://www.freewebs.com/ugfed/Downloads/AppGadget.zip which also includes source conversions for C and Visual Basic 6.0.

Probably, but then again the original DoEvents was for Windows Only as VB was Windows Only, although Win 3.1 16-bit apps could run under OS/2.

They hide to spring up in a supernatural burst to hit you with a hail of AK-47 rounds, like this:

Gar!

Kanakakakakakakakaka!

(You Dead, Game Over!)

hmmm, wheres my next victim at.

hmm, I didn't think of that, I wonder if theres a sleep routine available from the Windows API, I will look into this, but my version is completion time depends on CPU speed not 25 milliseconds, but nether the less, your post has trigger a new thought pattern for me, so thanks.
