Firebreath placing JPEG image inside the plugin window

I'm writing a plugin in firebreath, C++.

I don't have any experience with both, so my question may be very basic.

How do I place a JPEG image inside my plugin window? Or at least, how do I do it in C++ simple program?

Thanks,

RRR

    Basically you'll get a drawing model from FireBreath with the AttachedEvent. Depending on your platform, you will draw to that window using platform-specific drawing APIs. On Windows, for example, you would get the HWND from the PluginWindow (cast it to a PluginWindowWin) and then draw to that. Just make sure you stop drawing when DetachedEvent shows up.

    For more information, you'll need to be a lot more specific; but follow those links and do some reading, then you'll know better what questions to ask.

    FireBreath 1.5.2 was just released, btw! Good luck!
