[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Couple of odd questions/suggestions

brianm@sco.COM (Brian Moffet) (02/22/89)

Excuse me if I seem a bit spacey, I just got through
a 3 day weekend Blake-a-thon and my eyes are fried.
(48 hours of straight Blakes Seven Videos!)

I prefer the stack approach for windows being opened and closed.
If a window is opened in a program, When I am done with it
the previous window which was being used should be made
active.   This way I know what's happening.


I asked this question a while ago, but I went to Florida on
a honeymoon and didn't see an answer 2.5 weeks later.

Is there a method to change the global mouse pointer?  I want
to change the mouse pointer on a global scale about once
per minute.  Gte/SetPreferences doesn't seem like the best
method as it does all sorts of other things as well.

Also, I was having a problem with sending signals inside
a input handler.  I would Signal my sleeping other half when
I saw an input event (600 ticks of the clock on the input stream)
and it would cause a rather strange redirection of the input
event.  I would start getting key strokes on a non-active screen.
Anyone else seen anything like this?

thanks much.
