As I said on IRC, if I remember correctly withdrawn is the super-hidden. That is hidden + it's safe to release some resources as it'll be hidden for a while/we need the resources. That's just from the top of my head, I guess raster might be able to remember. We also need to sort out (higher level, not in the engine) all of the withdrawn true/false settings on hide and show and decide what can and should be done in many cases. For example, if we switch to show, does the state automatically change? Can we have a withdrawn state even when shown, and then make it actually do something only when the window is hidden? I don't know, it's kind of weird. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
