I have a minor annoying problem, that i'm hoping some has a better solution than mine for. I am writing a module for a 3d aniamtion system. I would like to attach a requester for the control of rotation/translation of the selected object to the DoubleMenuClick event. SetDMrequest is working fine, and I have had no problems designing and responding to the requester. My problem is that I want the use to be able to bring up the "control panel" and then slide it around to keep it out of the way of thier view of the objects. AutoRequesters seem to come up in their own window (at least from the picture in my intuition manual, I haven't actually tried them yet), but my DMR gets rendered right into the window it is attached to. My solution has been to build a dummy, null DMR, sense the event, and then generate the real requester and its window from my DMR handling routine. YECHHH!! Is there a way to build a DMR so it will generate its own window on activation? And if so, how???????? Thanx Jeff Kesselman ihnp4!uwvax!puff!uhura!captain
