Posted: Jul 7, 2002 @ 10:19pmWith version 1.03 <a href="http://www.gapidraw.com">GapiDraw</a> is not only the most advanced SDK for PocketPCs and Smartphones, it's also one of the easiest to use. GapiDraw 1.03 introduces a new multithreaded base class: CGapiApplication, that lets you create games in a matter of hours!
CGapiApplication:
-A new base class to create new Pocket PC games in a matter of hours!

-Full support for stylus (down, up, move, doubleclick) and key input (down, up).
-Support for easy to use, dynamic rotation of the display with no performance loss.
-Flexible and easy to use configuration system.
-Multithreaded main loop for time critical operations.
-Full Minimize/Restore functionality with synchronized pause of main loop.
-Hides all notifications with automatic refocus of main window.
-FPS lock (the application will always run at constant FPS independent of CPU speed).
-CGapiApplication source code is included with the installation.
Other new features in GapiDraw 1.03 include:
-GapiDraw now links dynamically to gx.dll.
-RLE-compression is now re-added and improved so that it works with all types of BMP images (1, 4, 8, and 24-bit uncompressed, 4-bit and 8-bit RLE-compressed).
-A local copy of the documentation is now available as part of the installation.
-All sample applications are rebuilt using Visual Studio 6.0! You can now use either Visual Studio 6.0 or Visual Studio .NET to open the sample applications.
-New tutorials available that highlights the new CGapiApplication and the creation of platform-independent projects.
-New cursor class: CGapiCursor. CGapiCursor supports animated key sourced and alphablended cursors on Stationary PCs. Sample cursors by Jalentorn (jalentorn@pobladores.com), Lightstreamdesign (www.lightstreamdesign.com), and DroN (acidron@mail.ru) are included with their permission.
-FontMaker improvements. The last used font color is now remembered in the font select dialog. If antialias / cleartype is being used the blending is now be done to a specific blending color instead of the mask.

I was referring to the source of CGapiApplication which is included in the "include" folder. The file is named "GapiApplication.h" but it´s the full thing (just 30kb though but it was lots of work getting it to where it is today).
