Edit:
Jack crap is what it does lol. :)

OK, so then my question is:

Can I create a max window, natively, which does not have a rendering context?

MaxGUI or non MaxGUI?

SetGraphics() is what creates the rendering context.

If you only want a window without rendering context you need MaxGUI. Default BlitzMax window is always with a rendering context (there is no other content than that). Everything else you could do is not using any window at all and do it console only.

bummer, I own MaxGUI, but was hoping not to have to use it in this instance.

Hang on what does this do http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=65059 ?

(Which Cygnus posted on), doesnt that make a window without a GC? OK so it doesnt do anything atm, but its just example code.

Umm, I supose it is infact doing what MaxGui is doing, so what Dream said is probably nearly true. You either need MaxGui, or you have to do a load of piddeling things. Mind you, lead has already done them so brill ;)

I found that whilst looking after my original post of this thread ;)

Its cool, and useful too. :)

If I understand correctly, you want to create a window without any gui elements (for you wish not to use maxgui) nor any graphic elements...

I'm obviously missing some point here, but that sounds pretty useless to me. So then, what use would such a window have?
