Hello,
I wrote some funktions to draw little widgets with a nice looking
glass-effekt, mouseover, color-fading, etc. Is it possible to draw these
Widgets on a Form, created with VB or VFP ?
I tried it like this: I wrote a ActiveX-OCX and used SDL in this
ActiveX. It works, but every time it will open a new window, if i load
the OCX on a Form. I have the CDC-Window-Handler. Is it possible to draw
on this window (with SDL) ?
Sry for my bad English.
Best Regards,
Mario

It’s possible but SDL is a one-window library. You would not want to use SDL
in such a way.

Possible, but only in one window at a time. You cannot effectively use SDL
to implement an OCX because of several things: one already mentioned above,
OCX windowless activation, OCX tech is inherently designed around the
Windows arch and SDL does not provide those tidbits; I am sure there are
more, but I cannot think of any right now.
Windows GDI provides just about everything you would need to render your
control, including alpha-blending starting from Windows 2000.
