Ok, looks like I wasnt clear and looks like things are going in wrong direction :-) Matt, as you know, there is no way to report fltk events (FL_PUSH) via Fl::grab() clicking on borders of window manager. If I'm wrong, then I would be glad to correct my knowledge :-) Yes, I made explaination mistake :-); trying to keep thing simple, I skipped all the gory details, which was wrong since introduced more confusion. Matt (as I can see) already explained meaning of "subwindow", and it was mistake skipping popup() windows and windows not reparented inside main window. On other hand, _all_ of them are kept inside internal tree (khm... to be precise list ;-), just to make sure I will not be missinterpreted again) and as long fltk knows about them, fltk and you can do whatever you want. For those outside, you can't. As sample: can you receive running Mozilla/fluid events inside your application ? > Do you disagree? For me looks much better to mail person from you are expecting answer or title post with "[XY can you answer me]" instead to repost questions testing truth of given answers :-P. -- Sanel _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
