Subject: | Floating help box |
Hi all,
My Wibby program (on Aminet :) ) has a floating help box that appears
after a few seconds and follows the mouse around (sorta like in wind*ws).
Right now it does this by allocbitmap'ing the area where it's about to
open, then drawing the help box, and when it's time to go away, it draws
the data back that was overwritten. This works well and is nice and fast,
but apparently on gfx cards the help box scrambles the graphics underneath
itself.
Is there anything I can do about this? I know I could open a window instead,
but that won't be nearly as fast as the way I'm doing things now. Is
there a more gfx-card-friendly way to get my bitmap back into the window?
I'm using BltBitMapRastPort_ to restore the image.
Thanks in advance,
John Mason -- ICQ 17931257
