Ian, thank you for your quick and persistent help. -- I have create an keyboard hook application, in order to replace my missing winxp drivers (on my vista-laptop).
My FLTK::Window, sit on the background and reads keyboard events. If an key_event matches one from the setting.cfg, it executes the configured actions(such as enable/dis devices, volume, key remap,...). My FLTK::Window, can come into foreground for configuarion purposes (with specific key combination). I created another dialog(fltk::Window) in order to use it as an OSD for the executed action. So, from my main hidden window I execute: osdwindow->settext(&action_executed[0]); osdwindow->show(); // timer here to call the osdwindow->hide() (If anyone is interested in this app, let me know and I will upload it somewhere). > > > > How more simple can I say that I am trying to create a dialog=20 > > for "OSD" (OnScreen Display) ?
