I am having some trouble with windows under 2.0 (v37). My application
has carved up a custom screen into several borderless windows in seamless
patchwork style. The user is unaware that the screen has multiple
windows, the apparent (or should I say "intended") effect is that
some regions of the screen (borderless windows)change very rapidly.
The problem I'm experiencing is that when the user selects a gadget
on one of the windows, other windows get corrupted in the window
title/drag-bar region. I guess I'm a little surprised that Intuition
is playing with the title/drag-bar, since I thought a borderless window
weren't suppose to have one.
I've tried calling functions like ShowTitle( w, 0) to turn the
title line off, and RedrawWindowFrame() in an effort to eliminate this
corruption. Obvioulsy I'm on the wrong track.
My windows have no title, nor any system gadgets (close-box, drag
attribute, resizing, etc.) I'm using SMART_REFRESH.
Q: can I prevent title-bar corruption on Borderless windows?
Q: is there a way to prevent the current active window from
becoming deselected?
Please respond via email. Thanks in advance.
