I have a problem and I hope some out there as run across it before: I have an application and the very first window that opens up, opens up to 8 toggle buttons with labels. I am using the toggle button and label combination to work like icons. But I want bring up my window with the mouse arrow (pointer) on top of the first toggle button. And I would want the pointer to follow as I tab through to other toggle buttons. The reason I need this is because I am using pop-up menus and they are popping-up where ever the pointer is presently located. And I want them to appear according to what toggle button I am currently selecting. Thanks Leo. mullen_l@trees.dnet.ge.com

I'm sure it's possible using WarpPointer or some such, but personally I would find it *very* annoying to start an application and then have it snatch my pointer. Why not just place the popups instead? Or better yet, it sounds like you don't really want popups, but rather pulldowns. You could create a menubar there and put those in it (or misuse option menus to get the same affect). Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...
