So, here's the way to hook into the display/event dispatch logic:
First, you need to be catching AWT window events, then on WINDOW_OPENED and
WINDOW_CLOSED you need to hook your Display object into the Pivot
ApplicationContext "displays" list:
@Override
public void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent event) {
// Call the superclass implementation.
super.processWindowEvent(event);
switch (event.getID()) {
case WindowEvent.WINDOW_OPENED:
ApplicationContext.getDisplays().add(displayObject);
...
break;
// The WINDOW_CLOSED event.
case WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSED:
ApplicationContext.getDisplays().remove(displayObject);
break;
}
}
I realize it may be more complicated than this, and I'm sure I don't understand
completely what you're doing. But, this is the crucial piece that we added to
Pivot (access to the "Display" list) that is needed to make events / repaint
work correctly.

Hi Michel,
There is one more thing needed -- there is a list of DisplayHost objects
that is maintained for purposes of dispatching events. We added a method/hook
to be able to add your new object to this list. I don't have the code right in
front of me -- but I will dig it out and let you know.
