This may be obviosu to everyone, but just a note if it isnt.... I have a lot of experience *trying* to tlak Win32 into doing things other then its own way from my time in the Sun Java Performance tuning team. Java has a very X inspired window system. Retting that to run reliably on Windows has been a HUGE effort.
The single biggest issue is this: Win32 is not a multi-threaded OS. What I mean by that is that, while you can throw off multipel user threads, it is *vital* that everything that actually calls into the windows kernel happen on a single thread-- the message pump thread. Doing anything else is either unstable or outright fails. Keep this in mind when trying to figure out the work involved in making your GUI work on top of it. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
