Hi all, im back.
I just got the newest win32lib hope'n it would fix a problem i have... It
did not. I am making my main window then trying to add 2 child windows but
it crash's when i declare the 2nd window as a child.
I tried using modal windows but i dont see how to use them correctly.
What i am trying to do is have 2 windows that both take input with the
onXXXXX statments(eg onClick[Window1] = routine_id "onClick_Window1" ) with
our having to redraw the full screen(@ 800X600 it is slow with win32lib) Can
someone point out my oversight?
TIA

Could you give a short example? At the end of this message is an example
that doesn't crash.

include win32lib.ew
constant
W1 = create( Window, "Main", 0, Default, Default, 200, 200, 0 ),
W2 = create( Window, "Child1", W1, Default, Default, 100, 100, 0 ),
W3 = create( Window, "Child2", W1, Default, Default, 100, 100, 0 )
procedure onOpen_W1()
openWindow( W2, Normal )
openWindow( W3, Normal )
end procedure
onOpen[W1] = routine_id("onOpen_W1")
WinMain( W1, Normal )

I think the poplem is in the way i want the child window to act.
i used
constant
MWnd = create( Window, "Game", 0, 0, 0, 800, 600, 0 ),
W2 = create( Window, "PlayWnd", MWnd, 0, 0, 400, 600, WS_CHILD )
..as long as i didnt use WS_CHILD it worked(kinda)
I want the child windows to be confined to the inside of the MWnd window...I
am trying to take 1/2 the screen(left side) as the play window...then most
of the right as the map window with a small command (buttons) bar in the
middle....Maybe i misunderstand how a child window works(i rerad in the
win32 docs that a child window was cliped to the parent window and was not
alowed to draw out side of the parent..am i wrong?)
thanx for your help

I think you want to use a MDI window for your main window.
I don't think that MDI windows are supported yet in the win32 library.

That's correct; Win32Lib does not support MDI windows.

Do you really need a Child Window? If I understand you well, I think a
Panel on the right and the left hand side in the main window could also
solve your problem.

Probably not. I've glanced at the code needed to create them, but I haven't
really had a chance to go over it in depth. If it's fairly trivial, I might
give it a shot.
> If not where can i find a Eu lib that will let me?
I can't answer that one.
> Is there any place online i can find info on MDI window programming?
Can't help there, either.

MDI isn't the only, or often even the best approach. Perhaps splitting up
your window into several areas might be sufficient. It's not difficult to
emulate a window, either - take a look at IDE, for example. The 'child'
window that is being created in the window (and all the controls) is drawn
entirely by the application. In the initial version, even the toolbar was
emulated.

I will look at it. I was hoping to stay away from having to make my program
handle the input for a large window and decide what should be done in what
window...so that it can handle input better(i think that a if..end if loop
will slow it down to much)..
Thanks for help

What do you mean by panel?(I am clueless on the most part about window types
and such)

11. Re: Win32Lib.ew child windows
I'm sorry; I just looked at the doc file of Win32Lib, but that doesn't
provide a Panel control. But I think a Group control can also be used in the
manner I'm referring to.
It is not a seperate window, but a part of the parent window, just like a
Button.
I'm a bit unsure here, for I also read that a Group in Win32Lib can not
receive events. I think that means that it can not be used for your purpose,
unless modified. I want to look into this further, but not now, I don't have
the time.
It will be next week. In the mean time, maybe someone else can help you
further.
Ad.
PS. I thought I knew a bit about the use of Win32Lib, but unfortunately for
you that is not the case. I'm into VEL more since some time.
