Funnily enough, I think the script you posted is the most tasty avenue for
me right now. I just didn't realize how difficult getting what I want for a
GUI was gonna be ;) ... With this latest round of thought, I've got:
a) Ability to modify menu's (good).
b) Ability to choose diff. windows (good).
What I don't have is:
a) Selectable text in the window - if I print 20 lines
to the window with DrawString, it's my understanding
that the user won't be able to drag-select/copy them?
b) Autoscroll - the window won't follow the text.
How many of you have used Napster for the Mac? I guess what I'm looking for
is that little server window, where they spit out messages about how
they're burning in hell and click here to help us, and so forth. That
window scrolls automatically and the text is selectable.
The brunt of the GUI for the program I'm working on is handled by the
user's browser. I really just want a logging window sitting in the
background that will alert the user to any weird things or status messages
while they're playing around with the GUI/HTML interface.
