Thank you so much for the reply! I don't know wat exactly is meant by MDI..I'm creating these windows between the begin() and end() of my main window, so they become child windows. I tried your method for changing the widget hierarchy, but the dragging problem still exits,changing the widget hierarchy doesn't solve the problem...
Alternately I tried making them subwindows, ie , after show() of the main window, I created these subwindows and set them as non-modal.. But then, when I resize the main window, making it smaller,these subwindows don't get hidden, instead they stick out of the main window.. Is there any way I can hide them whenever the main window's edges cross the subwindow's xy position? I want these subwindows to be embedded within the main window, ie they show not be visible outside the main window's border.. One more question...I'm creating another modal window as a subwindow, when I click on it, the control goes to its handle function, but here the condition "fl_actual_window != this" is true, so the events don't get processed..the fl_actual window contains the address of the parent..how can this be possible, I'm not able to figure out.. This is the first time I'm working on fltk, so please help me out..
