Child window redirection

摘要

The visual output of legacy child windows intended for display on a non-legacy parent are redirected to an off-screen bitmap buffer. A display component having enhanced visual functionality processes the output of the legacy child window with any of a number of visual effects. The display component composes the parent window by combining the non-legacy visual output with the processed output of the legacy child window. In this way, visual enhancements that have been technologically unavailable to the legacy child windows may be applied to the legacy child windows when used in combination with a new-technology parent window.
