Hi,
I am writing a program which uses many windows and each window has gadgets
in the borders and title bar. Whenever the title bar in any window in my
custom screen is changed (either menu operations, or ACTIVEWINDOW or
INACTIVEWINDOW), The rest of the windows frames get redrawn. This is very
annoying when I have more than 5 windows.
At first, I thought it was something I was doing wrong in my event handler,
but one day, due to a stupid mistake, a software error requester came up.
I selected a window in the custom screen to see what would happen, and as
before (even though the program was stopped) all of the window frames were
redrawn.
So, I am now convinced that it is not my code that is calling
RefreshWindowFrame();. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I might fix
this?
Also, is it possible to make system requesters related to my program come up
in my custom screen instead of on the workbench screen?

You obviously need to read my recent article in "Transactor for the Amiga" :-). The problem is you forgot to specify NOCAREFRESH in your NewWindow strcture. >Also, is it possible to make system requesters related to my program come up >in my custom screen instead of on the workbench screen? Yes. See page 24, April 1988, Tranactor for the Amiga. :-) :-) :-) Or, use FindTask(0L); save pr_WindowPtr place one of your window pointers into pr_WindowPtr ...use program... restore pr_WindowPtr close window ... See "libraries/dosextens.h". For source code see (Guess what?!) "Transactor for the Amiga". |\_/| . ACK!, NAK!, EOT!, SOH! {O_o} .

Related (maybe) question. Why do screen refreshes, window sizing, menu selections, anything having to do with intuition's graphics take _soooo_ long when running WordPerfect? Could it be this (or some related) problem? If you simply click the menu bar, sometimes there's a full three seconds before you have control over the mouse again. This is stupid. Even resizing or moving another window is slowed way down. Any thoughts? -- ------------ Eric Kennedy ejkst@cisunx.UUCP
