I have recently begun working with Windows/386 and do not have the Windows
development kit that Microsoft sells. Before I put up my money to buy the
kit, I want to be sure that what I NEED to do in the Windows/386 environment
to make it REALLY functional is possible. Under Windows/386 as it now stands,
OFFICIALLY:
1)Is it possible to add custom gadgets to an application's
window?
2)And specify the gadget's image?
3)Have a window that DOESN'T jump to the front when you click
inside it?
4)Add gadget's and borders to any side of a window?
5)Make the window's text (or whatever) scroll WHILE the "scroll
gadget"(?) is being moved?
6)Add any or all of the above to the Windows/386 system software
to work with any windows compatible program that is loaded?
I've been using an Amiga (with 2.5megs) for the last 3.5 years, and as far as
the windowing system goes Windows/386 can't compare in functionality. Of
course, application software is something else altogether. :->
I've used Amiga windowing terminology above, but you get the idea.
Generally, how customizable is the Windows/386 system?
Also, how are the above questions answered in regards to XWindows?
I haven't been exposed to XWindows and don't know that much about it, but I
hope to change that next week at UniForum.
Thanx for any info or ideas you might have on the subject!
