DVH> Do you know how to make a window within a window? Every time I try, DVH> the main window's border disappears and I can't find the other DVH> window.. The "multiple document interface" much used by Windows 3.x applications (i.e. multiple child frames within a parent frame) is considered outmoded, or at the very least bad style on Presentation Manager. The recommended style is to have multiple top-level windows for different "documents" or views (look at EPM, for example). Having said that, if you *really* want to have a frame window within another frame window (i.e. you *aren't* writing an MDI application, but are actually writing something with a *legitimate* reason for having frame windows within frame windows), then you'll need to tell us more about the parent and ownership relationships that you are creating so that we can tell you where you are going wrong. For example: One common mistake made by Windows programmers (who don't realise that the client window is a *different window* to its frame in PM) is to make the frame of the inner window the child of the frame of the outer window, rather than a child of its *client window* as it should be. Similarly, the owner of the inner window should *not* be the outer window. ¯ JdeBP ® --- FleetStreet 1.19 NR* Origin: JdeBP's point, using Squish (2:440/4.3) SEEN-BY: 396/1 632/0 371 633/210 260 267 270 371 635/506 728 639/252 670/218 @PATH: 440/4 255/1 251/25 396/1 633/260 635/506 728 633/267 |
