I'm stuck! I've used OpenWindow() to create a new window, and I've created a raster port with InitRastPort() including the bit planes I'm going to be using (depth = 2). Now how do I get the current window to switch from it's current RasterPort to the one I've built? I stored the address of my structure into Window->RPort, but that didn't do it. Is there something else I need to do? I saw in the ROM Kernel Ref: LIB & DEV that there is also a RasInfo structure; do I need to do anything with that? The whole reason I'm interested in all of this is because the default window (the one I opened) has a title bar and I don't want one, but I do want the WINDOWCLOSE and WINDOWDEPTH gadgets. So I figured I'd supply a new BitMap/RastPort with the image I wanted to display and that'd be it. Essentially, this is what I'm doing: Window = OpenWindow(&newwin); InitRastPort(&myrp); InitBitMap(&mybmap, DEPTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT); ... allocate bit planes ... myrp.BitMap = &mybmap; SetAPen(&myrp, 0); SetBPen(&myrp, 1); ... do all of my drawing, etc ... Window->RPort = &myrp; ... shouldn't my new bitmap be displayed now? If you can help, thanks!! Mail would be more reliable since my site usually cleans the spool directories daily and I might miss the answer!

Sometimes it is desirable to have system gadgets (like CloseWindow or DepthArranging) used in new and exciting ways, but rendered exactly the same way as if the were used standardly (as Frank wants here; i.e., a CloseWindow gadget without the title bar). Another desirable is to SetPointer() to the Intuition Sleepy Z's pointer. Is it possible to have a supported library function written to return a pointer to a specified system Image or Gadget? phil kasten AT&T Bell Labs !att!mvuxj!ksp
