active rendering in windowed applications?

[disintegration]

is it possible?  everything that discusses active rendering seems to also be tied in with full screen mode.  i don't have the luxury to do the full screen.

so, can you actively render into a windowed GUI application?

[Herkules]

Sure.

Just take care not to throttle other threads that keep your GUI alive.

Most of the animated applets around are not fullscreen.

[disintegration]

do you perhaps know of an example of an animated windowed applet using active rendering?

Hope we have the same thing in mind when talking about 'active rendering'.
