I'm writing a WDEF. When there is a click in its goAway box, my WDEF
sends back wInGoAway and the window closes accordingly. So I have some
decent reason to believe that the Window Manager sees my wInGoAway and
tells the application about it. However, my WDEF never receives a
corresponding draw message, i.e. one that says "Draw your goAway box
in whatever highlighted form to indicate its selection," specifically
param == wInGoAway. Why?
Here's the offending code, methinks:
*/
long doWHit ( WindowPeek theWindow, long param, int varCode ) {
Point p;
long result = noHit;
SetPt ( &p, LoWord ( param ), HiWord ( param ) );
/* ... */
{
Rect boxR = GetGoAwayRect ( theWindow );
if ( PtInRect ( p, &boxR ) )
result = wInGoAway;
}
/* ... */
return ( result );
}
/* unterminated comment follows...

Why? Occasionally the writers of the Toolbox, in their infinite wisdom, see fit to leave garbage in the unused portions of parameters they send to us mere mortals. The parameter passed with the draw message to a WDEF apparently only uses the lower 16 bits. I suggest trying (param & 0xffff) == wInGoAway. You might wonder why this isn't documented. I do. >Pete Gontier | InterNet: 6600pete@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu, BitNet: 6600pete@ucsbuxa >Editor, Macker | Online Macintosh Programming Journal; mail for subscription >Hire this kid | Mac, DOS, C, Pascal, asm, excellent communication skills Doug Felt
