[ql-users] Easyptr Move

2005-03-11 Thread dilwyn.jones 
I tried sending this once, I think it never got past our server for some reason.

I got an email from someone who pointed out that some of the Launchpad programs 
can use the window outline and window content move facility of the new window 
manager and some can't (those just always use the standard window move icon 
method)

This rather puzzled me because the programs were all compiled with the same 
Easyptr and QLiberator versions.

I've since noticed that it's down to a difference in how the WMOV extension in 
Easyptr's toolkit works. (v3.50)

If you set a loose item object to have the code '5' so that it uses system 
move, you can use any of the window manager methods.

If you use WMOV there is only the old method available. You can't use any of 
the new methods. Sometimes you have to use WMOV. For example, the Launchpad 
clock runs in a MW_LINKed window so it has to be stopped before a move routine 
is called to move the main display.

Something to consider adding to the wish list for any new Easyptr updates I 
suppose, especially if a trivial change, although hardly a high priority.

In the mean time you can use my Wrezmov toolkit which was designed as a
stopgap for exactly that problem.Available where? Knoware!
