I was coding a DA and everything was going smoothly when I noticed that
what I was drawing on the screen was really a control. So being a good
little Mac programmer I whipped up a CDEF at it seems to work, except
a CDEF cannot be an owned resource of a driver. Any ideas on how to get
around this? It is currently 12:30 am and the only things that I can
think of offhand is:
1: Patch GetResource while in the DA and tweak the parameters when
looking for my CDEF.
2: Copy the owned CDEF to a valid id in (a: the system, b: in a possible
config file for the DA, c: another location?). Could scan for conflicts
to make sure I don't step on someone else's CDEF.
3: Fold it all back into the driver code proper :-<
Please mail, post, or ignore me. Maybe tonight the answer will come to me
in a dream.
