Got a question for one of the guru's (Dale? Jimm?), hope it hasn't just been asked to death and I missed the responses. Is there any extra overhead incurred when setting NewWindow.Flags with REPORTMOUSE if MOUSEMOVE is not turned on in the IDCMP, versus a window that doesn't have REPORTMOUSE set? The kind of overhead I'm referring to here is having a lot of continuous mouse messages going through a bit of extra processing before just being thrown away because MOUSEMOVE isn't turned on. Processing that isn't being done when REPORTMOUSE is off. If there is, is there any way to dynamically turn REPORTMOUSE on and off in a Window? Can I just set Flags directly, or would it be ignored or cause problems? And BTW, did anyone find any problems with Leo's method of starting up a process without doing a LoadSeg? If not, I plan to start doing some experimentation in that area. Keith Doyle keithd@gryphon.COM gryphon!keithd gryphon!keithd@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov

And BTW, it's Brian Witt's method; I just wrote the example. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.

At least it is in this way 'recommended'. Pertti Lehtinen pl@tut.fi pl@tut.fi ! -------------------------------- ! Pertti Lehtinen ! Alone at the edge of the world !
