Hi all! Question: In Visual C++, with a window in full screen, can i get a pointer to the first pixel? The one in the upper left corner? I''m an Assembly/Pascal/VB/VC programmer, but completely new to windows and very hungry for graphics capabilities. Can it be done? Using a pointer to a memmory location, can I draw my graphics directly on-screen? Something like: Memmory[Pointer] = Value Pixel[Number] = Color Thanks all, Jadar Karenine

No, you can''t do it directly like that.
Windows screens that part of the inner workings VERY well.

The situation you describe is what DirectX was developed for, I suggest you look into that - specifically DirectDraw and it''s surfaces.
