As Ian wrote already: don't use a window class then, use Fl_Group to derive your specific menu class, and add these to your main window. >>> The first time I show a subwindow I have to use show twice...=20 >>> (if it works, don't touch it!).

Without looking at the FLTK code, I can't tell exactly, but I think that subwindows are not really instantiated if their parent is not shown yet. Maybe you don't need to show() them twice, but can call redraw() instead on your main window to achieve the same (or resize the main window), but that's wild guessing now. I really assume that you won't have any problems if you use Fl_Group to derive your menus. Using windows to embed in other windows is overkill (and may not perform as well, since subwindows are *real* windows for the system). Is it because of their coordinates (starting with 0) why you want to use windows instead of groups?
