Probably not the way you want. You can create windows on a layer, so you can work with e.g. transparancy, or show/hide. Alternatively, you can 'grab' the control of the layer if you want to use it temporarily and then later 'switchcontext' back to the old user.
Note, "sharing" would be an interesting addition! At the moment, DirectFB does not offer an interface to have two processes access the same layer/surface, but all the locking/sharing code is present, just a question of adding some API. So if you feel compelled.. :) CreateWindow/GetID/GetWindow is to share windows, you can use that as a starting point. hth Niels Clark wrote: > Hi, > > I'm running two processes: process 1 and process 2. > > I've created a primary surface on process 1 and I would like to access > this primary surface on process 2. > > Is it possible using the DirectFB API? > > Thanks in Advance. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > directfb-users mailing list > directfb-users@directfb.org > http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users > -- .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list directfb-users@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
