I have an application that would like to make full use of the screen, a la
SuperPaint. I can do this by doing CopyBits to qd.screenBits. However, I
really want to be writing to a window. In doing so, the top of the window
is obliterated by an empty menu bar. Is there any legitimate way I can
hide the menu bar? And would this cause any problems when running under
multi-finder?

I am looking for some LSC 4.0 code to make a window cover the entire screen including the menu bar, I want the bar to appear only when a mousedown occurs in the menubar region. (Like in Tetris). Does anyone have code they are willing to share to do this? Mike Tarr tarr@cs.yale.edu

All you have to do is save the menu bar area to an offset pixmap and thin change the window's visRgn and clipRgn to include the portion of the screen that the menu bar covers. If the user click in the menu bar just change the vis and clipRgns back and copybits the pixmap back. I think that'll work.. yah.. maybe.

Couldn't you just DrawMenuBar after fixing up the visible and clip regions? This avoids stealing bits from the screen and makes the code simpler. -- Tim Maroney, Mac Software Consultant, sun!hoptoad!tim, tim@toad.com "I may be nuts but a speedfreak I ain't!" -- Robert Crumb
