Well, I've sorta been just fooling around below intuition with printer drivers, and devices and stuff. And I have done some stuff with the windows and the standard gadgets/alert/requester stuff and IDCMP communications. But now I want to build and application with adisplay that has some buttons, areas for text input, and text output, etc. You know, a REAL GUI. My question is, what is the accepted way of getting the display imagery into the program? There must be some way to get it in a data structure that can be linked into the object, no? (Hopfully there is some tool to do this other than building up a a raw image array byte, by byte, by hand.) Thanks for any hints. wmc – via Autopilot!
