Hello fellow Mac programmers: Before System 7, mouse down events in the desktop area were passed along to the application and the application could check for it (via FindWindow) and do something appropriate. In System 7 however, this event is not passed to the application - instead, the operating system automagically preforms a context switch to the finder (a very annoying "feature" which would be more tolerable if it could be turned off in a "preference"). Since the context switch doesn't occur while a modal dialog box is being displayed, I can only imagine that there is someway to trap those events or at least know of them. I've scrutinized IM VI and can't seem to find anything about a hook in the event manager or anywhere else. Can anybody help me? I'd really like to be able to track this event or at least, be able to keep track of it. Thanks, James -- James F.
