From your description it seems that what you're doing is correct, but maybe (I'm not sure about it) there can be a timing problem. AFAIK the different windows' relationships are established when show()n for the first time. However, simply calling show() and then hide() again before the FLTK event queue gets a chance to run() may not be enough, since this doesn't instantiate the system Window object, and this *might* be the cause of your problem. A minimal example code how exactly you create, show, and hide the windows, together with the main program code (when do you call Fl::run()?) might help. If you post some code, please post a minimal compileable example so that we can test it to help you. BTW.: can you test your program on other platforms, e.g. Windows? What happens when run on Windows or Mac OS X? Albrecht _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
