Hi. A friend of mine is trying to duplicate the Amiga j/k window shuffling
in MachII. (MachII.5). Basically, Amiga-J sends the rearmost window on
the screen to the front and makes it active, while Amiga-K sends the frontmost
windo to the back and makes thone behind it active.
Problem is, he can't find any structures in intuition which say which window
is at the front, only which window is active. He's using M2Sprint. Any
ideas?

He can get what he needs from layers info: #define MY_SCREEN MyWindow->WScreen #define MY_LAYER MyWindow->WLayer if (MY_LAYER != MY_SCREEN->LayerInfo.top_layer) WindowToFront(MyWindow); -- ======================================================================== Joe O'Hara || Comments represent my own opinions, Commodore Electronics Ltd || not my employers.

From intuitionbase.h : struct IntuitionBase /* IntuitionBase should never be directly modified by programs */ /* even a little bit, guys/gals; do you hear me? */ { struct Library LibNode; struct View ViewLord; struct Window *ActiveWindow; struct Screen *ActiveScreen; /* the FirstScreen variable points to the frontmost Screen. Screens are * then maintained in a front to back order using Screen.NextScreen */ struct Screen *FirstScreen; /* for linked list of all screens */ ... It goes on, just don't use those pieces that are "private". So how hard did this person look ? :-) --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
