[Cegcc-devel] Making cegcc/mingw32ce applications VGA-aware
Hi, I am re-compiling Andre Stemper's gnuplot port (http://meeting.uni.lu/andre.stemper/gnuplot.html) with cegcc and also mingw32ce. But I would like to make that port VGA-aware (by patching the exe file, if possible). I know that I can make an application VGA aware manually with ForceHires, and Visual Studio 2008 .NET Compact Framework 2.0 executables are also VGA-aware by default. But how to make an existing mingw32ce application VGA-aware? Do you have some ideas? Maybe there is a program availabe which just patches the executable. If yes, please let me know!

If you add the line
HI_RES_AWARE CEUX {1}
to the rc file of your application, then it'll become "dpi aware" and
when you execute system calls to query the screen dimensions, you'll get
the right answers.
Without this, you keep getting the old values (240x320 or so).
This works on my PDA (which is 480x640).
Is this what you were asking ?

I have a related question to that:
I have a library that manages the graphics and an application that uses
that lib. Is it sufficient to link that rc file to the library, and the
application will be aware of it, or must I link the app to that rc file ?

I don't know. I imagine that the answer would be different depending on
whether your library is a .lib or a .dll .
