- I'm wondering what would be the best way to scroll a screen-size
- non-superbitmap window. The screen might be HUGE, i.e. the window
- might be HUGE. From what I see in the AutoDocs, ScrollLayer() is
- of use only for SuperBitMaps. (I do have GZZ.)
-
- In fact there are prop gadgets in the borders and I should scroll
- the window contents as the user plays with the gads.
-
- The autodoc for BltBitMap() says there are limits for width & height
- such that width can be up to 970 or so and height up to 1000 or so.
- What if the user has a 1280 * 800 screen?áWill BltBitMap() choke on it?
