Other's might suggest that it's rude to expect people to provide you with examples when you aren't prepared to make the slightest effort to find any for yourself. It may surprise you to learn that people who help on sites like this don't necessarily keep libraries of links lying around for every subject. The fact that, for instance, we know that you would need to use DirectDraw to accomplish something doesn't mean that we have loads of links lying around to examples of using DirectDraw. To find those examples, we would have to open a search engine and type in the appropriate keywords to find them. You're just as capable as we are of doing that so why should we do it for you? Why is it rude for us to expect you to search for your own information but not rude for you to expect us to do it for you? We're here to help with the stuff you can't do, not stuff you can't be bothered to do. Searching the web is not something that you can't do. As a rule, we expect you to do what you can for yourself first and then ask us specific questions when you encounter a spe4cific issue. If you're not prepared to make that effort on your own behalf, it doesn't inspire us to make an effort for you. We tend to help those who help themselves. Is that you?
