Re: Window stays Hi-lighted still no go
Posted by: mdavey <mdavey@...>
I have, PG project, two windows, one as a background window the other as a
palette, when I switch out to the finder or other app. the main window
doesn't change to gray, it stays hi-lighted.
I did try using _KeepWndAcvtive as shown here on the _otherSwitch event
from PG:
SELECT gSubAction
CASE _otherSwitch
SELECT gDialogValue
CASE _mfSuspend
Hide Pallette 'sorry forgot what the code was but have it right in
the real thing
WINDOW (MainWindow),,,_Doc-_KeepWndActive
CASE _mfResume
Show Pallette 'same sorry as above
WINDOW (MainWindow),,,_Doc+_KeepWndActive
END SELECT
END SELECT
I could get this to work on a test project I made (one window, one palette,
nothing else) but not on the real program I'm working on. Is this the right
track or I'm I all wet.
What really bugs me is that this must come up with every PG project that
uses a window set to Keep in background ie. any project that uses palettes.
This must have been solved many, many times before. The Staz guys are
always so elegant in making things work that I can't beleave they missed
this, so I'm sure I'm the one not understanding.
