Near the end of July a FindWindow() routine to find the current console
window was posted by deven@rpi.edu. The routine works fine, in as much as
I can locate the console window and extract the current size, position
etc., but when I attempt to resize, move or change the window in any way I
get a Software Failiure.
Here's an excerpt from my program:
struct Window *console;
console = FindWindow();
SizeWindow( console, 10,10);
Any suggestions?

That's strange. I don't believe I tried moving or resizing the window, but I know I tried changing the window/screen titles, and that worked well enough. Unfortunately, I just moved, and I don't currently have much spare time, and I also don't have an Amiga available for experimentation, so I can't offer a solution.

Is that out of the legal range for the window? I shouldn't think it would matter, but does it work with 100x100? Maybe it's something even more obvious, but I haven't done much Intuition programming, and I don't have my RKMs with me or anything. If you or someone else can look into the problem further, maybe I could help, but right now, I can't do much... Sorry. Deven p.s. Any Amiga enthusiasts in the Cincinnati area? send me Email or something... -- Deven T.

Just one, and it's extremely simple. Try: SizeWindow( console, 10L, 10L ); Just a thought. --Karl
