Re: [ql-users] locking a window?

[James Hunkins]

I had considered that but things like dropdown menus and error messages 
should have the original window left open so that you can have a 
reference.  Not to mention, with folders, I would not like a full 
folder closing every time I wanted to run do a change to it or pick a 
sub-option.

For somethings your suggestion may work but I am afraid not for the 
desktop that I am working on.

Cheers,
jim

By the way, this mechanism is only being used when a particular
sub-program is called and the calling window needs to be locked.
Examples programs that need windows larger than the caller's window
[drop-down menus, File and List selects, etc] and programs that will
be directly changing something in the calling program so we would
want to lock the calling program out [IconDraw for notebooks which
will change the notebook's icon, Add Objects for folders, and
notebooks for folders or Icons].
A possible alternative approach would be to close/remove the calling
program's window(s) before the sub-program is called and then
reinstating it/them when the sub-program exits...
