LXsPKG_DEFERRED_UPDATE

An item type can define a tag for a deferred update channel. This is an integer channel that will be tested to see if deferred updates should be done. Any non-zero int value enables deferred updates.

ILxGLViewport

class ILxGLViewport

The GLViewport object allows clients to get a fully domesticated GL viewport of their own. The object is not associated with any on-screen viewport and can be used with no nexus-native windows at all. Instead it represents GL state that can draw and react to input.

Select the viewport, allowing the various view3d.??? commands to target it.

LxResult DropDestination(LXtObjectID self, int x, int y, void **ppvObj)

When performing drag and drop, clients can get the drop destination for elements under the mouse. This will be a PreDest object that can be queried for information about the drop destination.
