Draw to Canvas or Direct-X window

My question is oh mighty BMAX tech's is....

I am STILL working on my flagship product, my emulator (plug,plug)

I started it without MAX-GUI and used the ol graphics.... command to set the window up.

Do you think I should change to drawing on a canvas, how would I get on with keyboard input, I mean its a game console emulator so two or more keys can be held down, can gui handle input the same?

what happens when drawing to a canvas when there PC doesnt have Direct-X installed?

Should I change to canvas drawing or stay with the old? which is better

any opinions?

Is this applicable?

Possible but I need to detect keys if mouse pointer is not over canvas.

I use every single key on the keyboard including control-key etc and function keys to get all the emulator debug features in. could be a nightmare, I think I will stick with what I have.

Canvas's can be opengl or directx. If you do not have them it will not work!

The mouse/key code can still work as you have it. Using a Canvas will not stop the code from working. Just make you graphics faster.

Make sure you have EnablePolledInput() before your main loop.
