Hi, if you are still patient enough to help me....

here is just another one that beats me.

What I want:
(1) a big frame covering all the screen, giving the program's name in the caption
(2) small window to give options to the user.

My solution:

(1) iwin=winio@('%ww[maximise]&')
(2) iwin=winio@('%fr&',800,600)
(3) iwin=winio@('%ca[MapMaker 3.01]&')
(4) iwin=winio@('%lw',kcm)
...
...
(5) iwin=winio@('%ww[toolwindow]&')
(6) iwin=winio@('%aw&',kcm)
(7) iwin=winio@('%ca[Select Project]%sp&',260,150)
(Cool iwin=winio@('%cnWhich Project do you select ?&')
(9) iwin=winio@('%2nl%cn%20.3ls&',dir,ndir,iselect)
(10) iwin=winio@('%2nl%cn%^tt[abort]&',irgpn1)
(11) iwin=winio@('%ta%`^tt[okay]',irgpn2)

lines 1 to 4 define the big bachground window covering all the screen

5 to 11 define a window with a menue to give all the projects available. The project is selected by clicking on it and then press 'okay' or 'abort' to stop execution.

irgpn1 and irgpn2 are call back functions making the user's selection available to the prog and return -1 to winio@ in order to close the small selection window.

Trouble is line 6.
If I do not have it to the code, the window behaves as I want it to do, meaning after displaying it execution terminates until the user either clicks on 'okay' or 'abort'. But if by mistake the user clicks utside of it, the background window gets control and supercedes the selection window.

However if I add line 6 as done here, execution of the program does not stop after line 11 to wait for the user's input but carries on - naturally to produce errors on end because of the lacking input. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Where do I go wrong ??

If you use the topmost option for %ww the window will stay on top.
i.e. iwin=winio@('%ww[toolwindow, topmost]&')

sorry, but it will be some days till I get back to my system to test.

Because of the way %fr and %aw were designed, the child window will always act as though %lw had been specified.

I think the best way to get what you want is to use a %cc format code to attach a close window callback function to the child window. Then you can move the program code that you wish to execute after the window has closed to that routine.

Well, nice to know this one.

You should expect to find info like this somewhere in the docs about %fr and/or %aw though, don't you ?
