walrus@wam.umd.edu (Udo K Schuermann) (10/23/90)
This is to say THANK YOU, EVERYONE who helped me with my ActivateGadget() problem. Thanks to a piece of code mailed to me by Michael van Elst I have finally gotten it to work. The hints to wait for the WINDOWACTIVE message were (and will be!) helpful. The central problem, however, was entirely mine. Beware, aspiring C- programmers: &foo is VERY different from foo (It hurts to admit my folly, but perhaps someone else will be spared the agony I went through. And all this for 60 lines of code -- phew!) Again, thank you all who responded. "The Net is the best. Get here and we'll do the rest." ._.
