1. Win32Lib help, please
I used loadWindow() to open a secondary window, but when I closed it(the
secondary), it closed the main window and ended my program. So, I tried
WinMain() and it worked perfectly -- or seemed to. I discovered that every
time I ran it, the program never really shut down; if I hit ctrl-alt-del(in
win95), exw was listed in the task list. I added onUnload() routines with
abort(0), which cleared up the residual problem, but then the program
closed when I closed the secondary window, although not when I closed the
main, so I suppose by creating it under WinMain() named I the secondary
window as the functioning window. If so, is there a way to redeclare this?
(WinMain(mainwindow) causes an error). BTW I also tried putting an
abort(0) at the end of the program as well as consecutive abort(0)'s in the
onUnload routine.
a thousand TIA

Despite some people's occasional success, Win32Lib still does *not*
handle multiple windows, primarily for the reason that you have cited.
In general, the unloadWindow() function should not be used. Instead,
hideWindow() needs to be called. None of the windows should be destroyed
until the application is closed.
The problem, of course, is that the window is destroyed when you click
the close button on the frame. I need to trap that behavior, and replace
it with hiding the window.
I hope to have Win32Lib reloaded on my machine some time this weekend
(I'm slowly recovering from losing my hard drive), and I'll start
working on the multiple window issues, along with the modal problems.
Thanks!
