Can you write directly to the MS Windows desktop with Windows API?
I think no.
You must use Microsoft’s ‘GetDesktopWindow’ etc…
In then draw the Desktop in your full screen window

Actully you can using WinAPI. (Which is the real WindowsAPI, you can’t with
MFC I think). All you have to do is pass screen for your DC parameter.

Still you can’t using SDL.#

P.S.: I just had to be a jerk on that one :wink:

The line of code is: hdc = CreateDC(“Display”, NULL, NULL, NULL)

I figured that out when for some reason I could not get a normal DC for my
application. This worked and produced a really nice fullscreen :wink:
