I asked this question some weeks ago but haven't got any replies. Does anyone know the answer to the window refresh problem if one changes the window tree hierarchy in SunView? Somebody at Sun ? Please email replies. The basic problem is that the part of the window manager which handles refresh after a window move or resize interprets the position of the window as being relative to the top left-hand corner of the screen (or root window), rather than relative to its parent. For all normal applications, the parent is the root window, so no problem arises, but if you create a true subwindow (in my case, using window_create( 0, FRAME, ...), having changed the window parent variable (with we_setparentwindow) to be the name of a frame I created earlier) then moving or resizing the subwindow causes incorrect refresh. There must be a fix for this somewhere. Thanks much. sandeep -- Sandeep Mehta ...to be or not to bop ? uunet!philabs!bebop!sxm sxm@philabs.philips.com
