CreateForm flags?

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/CreateForm flags?

Why does the CreateForm command show that it has an optional flags parameter in the status bar, yet the help fle makes no mention of these flags or what they do?

There isn't a CreateForm() command.

CreateCanvas. :-)

Would be nice if the Flag was the DC draw mode ;) *Hint*


sswift(Posted 2004) [#5]
What is DC?

Device Context

I found all that stuff on device contexts, but I don't see anyhting about a draw mode.

Are you implying blending modes like alpha, multiply, add, or perhaps just color masking?

He's talking about common raster operation modes. like in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/bitmaps_0fzo.asp

I'd really like to have those too.

Those operations don't seem all that useful to me. I don't have much need for making a negative of an image, or doing the same with XOR. But perhaps I am missing something obvious, which would allow for transparent regions.
