0. Is this the right list to ask about transitioning from
QuickDraw?
It would be to your advantage to also be on the Carbon-Dev list.
Things like the HIView model, while likely to be understood by many
of us here, is not the topic of this list but are essential to
properly moving to Quartz.
1. At what level of granularity does it make sense to
replace QuickDraw calls? Each window? Each control? Each region/
path? The need to obtain and release a CGContext suggests a larger
granularity, like a window.
Generally CGContexts will be given to you, but at what level you get
them depends on how you transition. If you do a quick and dirty
transition, you will get them at the window level. If you do a more
thorough conversion you will get them at the Control/View level.
2. Is there any recommended order in which to attack such a
conversion?
None that I know of, but I'm sure someone has some favorite method
that they have used in the past...
3. Can Carbon event handlers coexist with QuickDraw
WaitNextEvent model?
Yes, you can mix and match carbon event handlers and WNE, although
this is more a topic for Carbon-Dev. The grand prize for that work is
when you get rid of WNE all together and use RunApplicationEventLoop
() instead.

Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try.
