FYI: Engineering Review of Display Code

Good going Paul! We have studied this display problem also. Our goal is to have our software work with any PC computer/video card installation if possible.

The Karaoke playing display code in Microstudio and Karaoke Home Producer can be improved. Our code includes both DirectX 7.0a and GDI coding which is causing problems. For example, the KHProducer text screen does not refresh if you have another dialog box appear on top and then disappear (such as to insert a .txt file). Microsoft has just released DirectX 8.0 which is a total overhaul with major improvements.

Our goal is to make the Play operation show in full screen. Thus, we will rewrite the display code. Our delima is between using only the ancient GDI display coding that works well with Win 95/98, or rewrite only for DirectX 8.0 which is the modern way. Our current inclination is to use DirectX 8.0 and try to make the download easy for clients.
