[perl-win32-gui-hackers] GUI.xs (BeginPaint and EndPaint)

[Jez W. <je...@je...>]

Hi,

Would any one have any objections if I change (fix depending on your =
viewpoint:) ) the BeginPaint and EndPaint functions in GUI.xs?=20

I think these functions are left over from previous versions (along with =
the other painting/drawing functions in GUI.xs). They are currently not =
used by any other internal functions, nor are they documented anywhere. =
The general usage would stay the same, but I plan to return the details =
as an array (dc,x,y,x1,x2,flag) rather than messing with the object =
itself. I think this would be cleaner, faster and more like other xs =
functions.

In general usage these functions would be used in conjunction with a =
Hooked WS_PAINT message, allowing the users program to handle the =
painting of window directly. A good example, would be the bitmap =
scrolling example ask for by Glenn Linderman, instead of painting the =
bitmap into a image control, it could be painted direct into the windows =
DC (I'll try and put together an example this weekend).

Comments?

Cheers,
