[directfb-users] resize a DFBSurface

[d***@free.fr]

Hello

I wanted to know what was the best way to resize a DFBSurface created by "CreateSurface".
I've seen that there was a resizeSurface function but only for surfaces that are created via a directFBWindow.
I've tried to call again CreateSurface on the same surface changing only the DFBSurfaceDescription width/height and it seems to work, but if I do it without first releasing the surface, do I risk memory leak?
Thank you for your help

Sincerely

YOLIN Dominique

If you release the old one, and having a new surface interface pointer is ok for you, then you can use recreation for resizing.

We were also thinking about adding a resize method in IDirectFBSurface.
