Agreed, I did not intend to argue it's actually method for doing what it does.
I was just answering your ? as to what one would use if for. I use it for it's advertised purpose to 'lock/freeze' the display until I'm done drawin then get a one-shot draw effect. For that it works, and it works as advertised. It's simpler than me allocating an offscreen window, drawing to it, etc, etc, allthough that's not really that hard and you have to do it yourself anyway for pre 3.5 devices anyway. So maybe it's a mute point. -- Matt Disher [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: Daniel Morais <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 02:34:09 +0200 > To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: High density screens / Palm OS 5 > > If you want to update the display without the user noticing it, you can just > use an offscreen window... -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
