Hello, i would like to ask if there is a default display window created when my app is ran normally, which i can directly use to blit my back buffer (normal bitmap) onto? I would also like to know what is happening to this display window when i call WinScreenMode to change the display resolution. Is it automatically re-created by the OS?
The application i'm writting is a 3D renderer with no GUI at all.
In 68K applications, there is no default drawing window by default. Usually, this is provided by loading a form, and it's a good idea to have a blank form, even if you're just rendering to the screen, since this gives you a framework to provide a menu for program control.
You can just set the active drawing window to the full screen as well, using APIs in the Windows section of the Palm OS 68K API set.
