windows: include native window output in a custom render pipeline

Question

Hi all,

I am working on windows port of xbmc. I am trying to integrate chromium browser into xbmc using chromiumembedded framework. Xbmc has its own rendering framework and ideal solution would be to get rgb data from cromium window and render it using xbmc functions. That would allow us to create webbrowser gui conrol.

Chromiumembedded framework can create new window or to pass a HWND param and use existing window. What would be the best way to hide this window and retreive its pixel data. It would be nice to avoid tearing.

Thanks.
