[webkit-help] Capture rendering buffer (windows)

[Chris Hatko]

Thanks Alex,

I tried using paintDocumentRectToContext, but I was asking for the
paint 30/sec and found that providing a rectangle for the entire
window was too slow. I've made some progress with my original method
which only invalidates the flash/plugin areas  and uses the
backingstore bitmap as the 30/sec snapshot. Below is some code I found
to search for plugin areas. I Hope it helps someone ...

     // get the plugin (flash) areas and invalidate them
     IntRect pluginArea;

     for (Frame* frame = (this->m_page)->mainFrame(); frame; frame =
frame->tree()->traverseNext())
	 {
		FrameView* view = frame->view();
                if (!view)
                   return 0;

               const HashSet<RefPtr<Widget> >* children = view->children();
               ASSERT(children);

               HashSet<RefPtr<Widget> >::const_iterator end = children->end();
               for (HashSet<RefPtr<Widget> >::const_iterator it =
children->begin(); it != end; ++it)
               {
                   Widget* widget = (*it).get();
                   if (widget->isPluginView())  // works for flash at least
		   {
				pluginArea = (static_cast<PluginView*>(widget))->windowClipRect();
				this->addToDirtyRegion(pluginArea);
		   }
              }
     }


One item i have noticed and that I've wasted many hours debugging is
that the latest Flash (10.1) doesn't render at full speed when it is
in a hidden window. I'll send another question to the group detailing
this.

Thanks,

Chris
