Changing Display Type

Post by oceanarts »

As I understand it, it is possible to change the display type as needed in Hollywood. For instance if a certain part of the application is more suited for double buffering that layers, then you can change that. But is the same thing true for Designer?

Not really. Everything in Designer depends on layers. Actually the whole layers system was only implemented in Hollywood because it's needed by Designer. Of course you can go ahead and use custom code to disable layers and then start a double-buffer but of course this means it won't be possible to use any Designer features any longer. If you disable layers, you're entirely on your own and you need to program everything using custom code.
