Create child display of given display and load from "resourceName". The notable difference between createDisplay and createDialog is that if child display class has movingEnable = 1; param, the player would be able to move whilst having control of the mouse pointer.

Since Arma 3 v1.49.131657 createDisplay returns Display and will first look in description.ext for resourceName config, if not found, it will then look in main config.

Do not simply createDisplay form Arma 3's debug console, as it will crash the game. Instead use spawn scope: [] spawn {findDisplay 46 createDisplay "RscCredits"};

Arma3 v1.34

When using CreateDisplay instead of CreateDialog, all the commands for working with the controls of the display only work with the control version, not the IDC version.

EXAMPLE: LbAdd [1234, "item"]; // does not work on displays, and won't error either _ctrl LbAdd "item"; // does work with displays
So you have to use the control(DisplayCtrl) and not the IDC.
