Re: [Chromium-dev] Render to App Window... On Windows?

[<ma...@co...>]

Mike,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that concept has led to the Windows
render-to-app-window problem in the first place... I think the problem is that
one processes can't render into another's Window (window id's might be process-
specific ) I don't know for sure what the cause is, but the existing
implementation definitely doesn't work!

In the meantime, I went ahead with my plan and it looks like it works! (For
single window apps anyway... and so far I've only tried city...)

Having the stub itself double dispatch to the spus and the app window should
be higer performance anyway, since you're not sending the calls off to another
process, right?

The only tricky part is handling which context is the current native context,
but another half day and a hash table or two should settle that...

Thanks,
Jon

ps. The IEEE Vis talk that you, Brian, et. al. put on has been super valuable.
Thanks again for having done that! Will there be another this year?
