paint prog - resized window to act like full screen
Author
I'm trying to write some code so that I can paint into a resized window with something like an airbrush in such a way that it will act exactly as though it were painting into the full screen version of the backbuffer. In other words, I don't want to resize the backbuffer at all.
I need to extract the previous (full screen) pixel colors under a given area (like inside the airbrush circle for example), but I need to be able to do this as though it were in full screen mode. Then I need to apply the effect to those pixels and resubmit as thought I were in full screen mode.
I thought perhaps the backbuffer remains in tact when I resize, maybe just some kind of mouse coordinate or pixel coordinate conversions??
Has anyone ever done this?
Any ideas?

Just an update. I added this function:
It seems to work ok for a single pixel so far...
I'm still not so sure if this is the best way to handle this. Any ideas or feedback are more than welcome.
