Does GetFrontBuffer not work on the PC (Desktop)? I'm using PF7.0 and I have GetFrontBuffer working on the PocketPC, but it always returns 0 on the PC. Any clues?

The front buffer isn't accessible on all PPC, and never on the PC. It will be removed from future versions (I tought I already removed it).

Why do you need it? It's pretty much useless when you think about it... Anything you want to do with the frontbuffer you can do with the backbuffer prior/after updating the display.

Honestly I didn't realize that GetFrontBuffer was so limited and I guess I was being narrow sighted. I wasn't using GetBackBuffer since I was so determined to use GetFrontBuffer. There really isn't a problem using GetBackBuffer... I just thought I was doing something wrong ;-)

. Thank you very much! I won't use GetFrontBuffer anymore as GetBackBuffer works great.
