[vbox-dev] Seamless windows using COM

[Christian Pötzsch]

Hi,

the display of the VM window is fully done in the client application.
This means you didn't get any help from the COM api beside the current
visible region. You have to implement the IFramebuffer object yourself.
See VBoxFrameBuffer.cpp in the VirtualBox sources of our Qt GUI. There
is a method called "SetVisibleRegion". When this method is called you
can do whatever you want with that info.
