Fix some compilation warnings with MSVC. [KERNEL32-CONSRV] - Implement console graphics screen buffers, as described in http://blog.airesoft.co.uk/2012/10/things-ms-can-do-that-they-dont-tell-you-about-console-graphics/ . The idea is that the console server creates a memory shared section to be shared with the client console application (it increases performance). A mutex is used to "say" to the console server that he can repaint the screen. The function InvalidateConsoleDIBits is implemented too. The definition of the structure CONSOLE_GRAPHICS_BUFFER_INFO comes directly from the site. - CreateConsoleScreenBuffer was modified to be able to create such buffers. This is needed for a working NTVDM-like application. [CONSRV] - Rework the console buffer structures so that text-mode buffers and graphics-mode buffers can "inherit" from an "abstract" structure, CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER. Add few helper functions for manipulating them. - Reorganize the output code in "graphics.c" and "text.c" files to separate text-mode only code from graphics-mode only code, both in the console server and in the GUI front-end. Other fixes: - Fix mouse handling (left and right clicks when one goes away from the "Selection" mode); do not handle mouse signal when we reactivate the GUI front-end window by a click. - Fix GetLargestConsoleWindowSize API in console server side. Now pressing Alt+F9 in Far Manager to "change" the "video" mode works correctly. Finally: - Start to implement a (fake, i.e. not using directly a VGA driver) console fullscreen mode. Currently Alt-Enter key presses call a stub which just alternates DPRINTing between "switch to fullscreen mode" and "switch to windowed mode". Images here: - Example of an application (a 16-bit emulator by Mysoft) which uses the console graphics screen-buffer functionality: http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/1693/mysoftemulatorargon.png - A potpourri of console applications which use graphics screen-buffers: http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/6526/consoledelirium.png Enjoy :) svn path=/trunk/; revision=59099
======================== ReactOS Version 0.3.x Updated Dec 16, 2006 ======================== 1. What is ReactOS? ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers. The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003 drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility focus is Windows XP. More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/. 2. Building ReactOS See the INSTALL file for more details. 3. More information See the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes. 4. Who is responsible See the CREDITS file.
