Livecast plugin on home screen
|

| Kishor Narayan 2006-01-24, 3:59 am |
| Hi,
I am looking at the possibility of having a 'livecast' in the form of a
plugin on the home screen. By livecast I mean, scrolling text in a
plugin on the homescreen in the form of a marquee found in web
browsers. Can anyone lead me to any possible topics in this regard? I
am not particular about the content of livecast at this moment. I am
more interested in getting it up and running.
Many thanks,
Kishor

I have done this. it's tricky, and performance isn't great.
have a look at the 'helloplug' sample in the SDK. you can redraw by
calling the singleshot timer from your paint routine. remember to turn
it off when the homescreen isn't being drawn (low power mode - another
app running etc)
