Need help on adding support for heavyweight components in looking glass!

[lg3d]

Hi,

I need for lg3d to support heavyweight components such as awt.canvas. Is this even possible? and if so how do I do it??

If its not possible to do this in lg3d, is there anyway to "convert" a canvas to something else like a JPanel??

Is there a way to get Windows OS to paint on top/inside an lg3d window or something?

thanks for the help!!!

Under Solaris and Linux, it's easy enough. :-)

A JPanel can do everything that a Canvas can (short of providing its
own BufferStrategy). What do you need, specifically?

I think this is more of a generic question.  For example some native API's write directly to the Canvas.  So getting those in lg3d, has been a little more then difficult.

For example trying to use a Mozilla browser component inside a lg3d app. (the embeded component)

Ah.

I don't see that working on Windows, short of some major patches to lg3d.
