Meaning of CDirectScreenBitmap::TSettingsFlags?

[ludimate]

Hi,

Can anyone shed any light on the meaning of EIncrementalUpdate, which is one of the values from TSettingsFlags, used in CDirectScreenBitmap (cdsb.h) - this header file reads:
enum TSettingsFlags
{
ENone = 0,
EDoubleBuffer = 1,
EIncrementalUpdate = 2
};

All calls to CDirectScreenBitmap::Create() that I was able to locate use EDoubleBuffer. Would there be any advantage in using EIncrementalUpdate or simply ENone? Any help on the meaning of these flags would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jorge

Hi,

Bitmap drawing can be done either in incremental or double buffered way
based on the API you are using.
S60 devices support double buffered drawing with CDirectScreenBitmap.

CDirectScreenBitmap iDrawBitmap;
iDrawBitmap->Create(iRect, CDirectScreenBitmap::EDoubleBuffer);

Here, iRect is the drawing rectangle which uses double buffered way to update the screen.

But what happens in the incremental way? In that case are we drawing directly to the screen bitmap (possibly a hardware bitmap) ? Do you know if EIncrementalUpdate is even supported?

Thanks and Best Regards,
