FXWindow attach function

Hello, I've done some reading in the archives of this list, and found tid-bits about the FXWindow member function attach(). My question is am I misunderstanding the purpose of this function? After a window has been attached, is it supposed to be drawn within the FOX app, or is it just supposed to send its I/O operations and such through the FOX app to be intercepted? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. Neither of these... What it does is to reparent a foreign window under the FOX widget tree, essentially letting FOX act as a sort of "Window Manager". The effect is that the application that owns the window will be "embedded" inside the FOX application, which then assumes control over its geometry. - Jeroen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Foxgui-users mailing list Foxgui-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/foxgui-users |

Other than that, thanks for the answer. Thats a rather huge misunderstanding on my part. -Nate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Foxgui-users mailing list Foxgui-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/foxgui-users |

Basically, once the widget is reparented using attach, FOX decides where on the screen it shows, and what the width and height is... - Jeroen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Foxgui-users mailing list Foxgui-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/foxgui-users |
