Question about SDL_OVERLAY

Hello,
my name ist Sebastian Hofmann.
I came from Hannover in Germany.
My English are not very well, but i hope
you understand me. I am new in this list.
I hope too, that we have a nice time.

The question are all under Windows XP with DX 9.0 and SDL Vers. 1.2.6

Question 1:
Is there a chance to make an Surface with SDL_SetVideoMode without create an entry in the Taskbar?

Question 2:
How can I resize and or set a new position for a Surface whitch was created by SDL_SetVideoMode?

yours sincerely
Sebastian Hofmann

I don’t think so, since SDL only has few window management functions.
What you could try is creating a window using some other API and binding
SDL to that window (what was that hack again?).

Question 2:

I think you mix up surfaces and the window here.
You can resize the window by calling SDL_SetVideoMode() again. AFAIK,
there is no way to move that window - except using a different API (see
above).

What are you trying to do? Probably you’re better off with a different
library (FLTK, GTK or something).

Gru?
