- I'm trying to move bitmaps and lines across the screen. For lines, the ROP2
- mode NOTXORPEN seems to do the trick. However, the same (ternary) mode for
- ROP, that is, for the bitmaps, doesn't have a name, so it's not in <windows.h>,
- say. According to a Petzold formula, the HIWORD of the mode should be 0x99.
- But what's the LOWORD? I have no idea what the low word even *means*. There
- seem to be about 65536 possible values...
-
- Would anyone be kind enough to look it up? No, I don't know where. Is this
- what is meant by "clueless"?
-
- Thanks in advance,
