Moving to player-dev since they use the hxclient kit.

Yes, the TLC can create the OS window to draw to and hand
it
to the site (attachwindow()) or it can let the site create
it
for it. This is all done through the sites needed calls.

I know that the HXClientKit was designed to hide the
SitesNeeded()
complexity from the TLC. I am not sure how they did it. I am
not
sure what being paused has to do with it. Can you explain
more?

Yes, it was never used as far as I can tell. It would be bad
to
change the window out from under the site once it started
using
it.

Can you explain your usage case in more detail. I am really
not
sure what you are trying to do here that isn't working.
