: One totally unreleased point also, I want to write a display driver for
: Win32, kinda like GGI, any ideas for a start point, other than
: DirectDraw, anyone?
:
I was going to write both a win32 driver and an Xlib driver. At
first I thought the idea of running Windows ontop of windows was completely
ridiculous, but then I remembered that some people develop under windows,
and I want them to develop for microwindows also.
So. This is how to do it.
1. Create a new screen driver source file, scr_win32.c
2. Setup a make file so that cl -I<windows_sdk> is included
for this file, _not_ for the rest of the project (which has it's own windows.h)
3. Create a single window of your own class, and set WS_MAXIMIZED.
4. Read the window coordinates using GetClientRect and set the scrdev
struct members.
5. Implment the driver's drawhline and drawvline using MoveToEx and LineTo
6. Goto step one, replace "screen" with [mouse..kbd] and repeat accordingly ;)
Let me know if you need help. I may just write it myself.
Greg
