I am having problems with adding gadgets to the top border
of a window. If the window does not have WINDOWDRAG set, there
is no problem, but if WINDOWDRAG is set the gadget comes up
looking as if it is disabled and whenever I try to select it
all that happens is that the window is dragged about. This
happens under 1.1 and 1.2(beta 5).
Can anybody throw any light on this. All the demos I have seen on this
subject leave TOPBORDER alone.

Here's the trick - Add the gadgets after the window is opened at the FRONT of the list. You need to do this because Intuition's own gadgets (e.g. invisible drag gadget) will take precedence over yours because they're nearer to the front of the list (until you add yours at the front). So use the AddGadget routine with position of 0, and you will also need to do a RefreshGadgets() once you've added it. I've done this, and it works. Hope this helps, Paul Higginbottom.

I don't have a demo for you, but you are probably not doing the necessary voodoo to get your gadget to precede the system drag gadget in the gadget list (gadgets select from from to back, head to tail in the gadget list). To do this, you must AddGadget() explicity, it cannot be gotten by the FirstGadget field in the NewWindow. Try setting the 'position' parameter in AddGadget to 0. Be sure also to set the TOPBORDER activation flag in the gadget. Top border gadgets have always been a little weird, esp. when the window is made active/inactive. They may still be a little weird. Good lucks. jimm Commodore-Amiga
