PocketMatrix

Thierry,

Thanks. I agree your first method is the easiest and lines up the best with what I was attempting.

I'll give it a shot later today.

Thanks again.

Pam

Yep, that did it. Works great.

Thanks,

Pam

P.S. Conan, your articles helped a lot getting me started. Looking forward to the next one.

Glad my articles are of help.

I've pretty much finished my soft keyboard & from that I learned how little I know about strings in C++ but also picked up quite a bit re: PocketFrog. (I'm fighting to get TrueType fonts to work on a surface at the moment as I don't want to invent my own font system) Update: I now have TTF working

re: copying from a surface I did not spot how to do it so the solution helps me as well. I was looking at copying code out of EasyCE but don't need to now.
One of the problems with no docs is you don;t know what's there. I keep finding nice powerful features

PocketFrog definitely needs docs. There is a lot of stuff in there, and even more comming. I'm trying to finish docs before integrating new features... But each time I sit down try to do it, I end up playing Wolfenstein... Argh!

Your contribution in the form of articles is greatly appreciated... It will allow me to concentrate on reference-like documentation while you provide tutorial/sample-like docs. Thanks a bunch!
