Yes, I think a callback is the best here, because when you get a list by one call, it might already be outdated when you process it. You have to do the GetWindow() from within the enumeration callback to make sure you'll get all of them. On the other hand, the stack can be freezed by blocking in the callback :( > Usefull for desktop pagers and similar applications.

That involves keeping a tree of all sub surfaces within DirectFB, with all pitfalls related to locks, references etc. but it's really worth giving it a try.

What about one RC on August 21st only? :-) -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
