- : > can the BitMap be changed while Intuition is displaying the window?
- : No, it's not legal.
-
- : The way layers work, you can't do it without wreaking major havoc
- : on the rest of the screen layers and other objects which cache bitmap
- : pointers.
-
- How does Intuition manage sizable normal windows? When enlargened they'll
- need more display memory. I think Intuition would need to switch to a
- bigger BitMap?
-
- If Intuition does it in a magic way, why not make it publicly usable with
- an LVO entry like ChangeWindowBitMap( win, newbm ) and something similar
- in layers.library?
-
- Also I find it rather odd that RKMs and AutoDocs don't say ANYTHING about
- this. I'd presume they'd either deny it or note that it can be done (and
- tell the proper procedure).
