I am working on a full screen application and decided it would be nice
to trap incomimg broadcast messages using SMG$SET_BROADCAST_TRAPPING
(PASTEBOARD_ID, AST_ADDRESS). The trap worked just fine until I tried
to use a LIB$SPAWN, which bombed out on me. I checked the error
status of the spawn and it said that my "terminal still has an
associated mailbox... terminate image then spawn". I tried turning
off broadcast trapping using SMG$SET_BROADCAST_TRAPPING(PASTEBOARD_ID)
before doing a SPAWN, but it did not remove the associated mailbox.
Questions:
1) Can this mailbox be deleted without exiting the image?
2) If so, how do I find out the 'chan' of the mailbox?
(SMG$SET... does not return it)
3) Does anyone know how to do broadcast trapping without using SMG$?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
