Thank you very much, DtD, a very good explanation

Yes, but when you need to find info on the forum and it doesn´t work... well, it's a... gimme an S!, gimme an H!, gimme an I! ...
Seriously, some times it's just a matter of:
- This is broken.
- Oh, just let me click on this button.
- Fine, thanks!

This problem persists. Could some admin contact SF just to let them know? Maybe it has an easy solution...

So this is a no-no, then

Ah, i thought that was an "always-on-top", not a "top-level-window". Anyway, i'm afraid this discussion is going nowhere

A "NON top level window" is a window inside another window? Maybe it has something to do with things like tutorial "14.Win32Window"?

You could call device->drop(); and then create a new device for your new map. Is this really a good idea if you don´t need to preserve nothing? Wouldn't the screen flash or trying to return to the original resolution (speaking on fullscreen mode), or something? Is it a safe method? If it is, it's a...

Ok, they are quite similar, then. Could you think of a real case in which a window is active but has no focus (or viceversa)? Something to do with Alt+Tab, maybe? Or this is just not possible on Windows, only on Linux or Mac?

What is the difference between device->isWindowActive() and device->isWindowFocused()? Aren't they the same thing? Probably not

Thanks

There's no point to drop it. As long as nothing really breaks the driver, we can keep it (with more or less features supported). And we will.

That's ok.

imo the only reason to keep DX8 is if we have devs who enjoy supporting it!

Hum, like i said, i'd really like DX8 still supported, as many old machines use it.

I use all of them. Although OGL would work on every machine, the truth is that it doesn´t on many old ones. And, in fact, so does DX9. So DX8 support is very important if you are not aiming to nextgen hardcore machines.
I wouldn't like DX8 support abandoned.

OK, thanks

It's hard for me to explain it in english, let's see... What scale do you usually use? In the quake3 examples i can see that the doors are about 150 units height, so we can consider 1 meter = 50 units. OK. But when modelling (i use wings3d), creating a model 100 height is not usual (eg: default size...

I see... thanks
