I am working on a program that opens a custom screen, and puts up a gadget in the SCREEN. I do not want to open up a window. How can I set up IDCMP for me to be notified when something happens to the screen gadget? All the documentation I've read deals with setting up IDCMP using the WINDOW's ports, but nothing with how to set up for a screen. Thanks. Jeff

Jeff, Look into OpenPort(); I'm not sure if that is ALL you have to do, but, it should point you in the right direction. Ray

As far as I know, C-A does not 'officially' support gadgets in 'screens'. I could be wrong though….

Try opening a BACKDROP|BORDERLESS|SIMPLE_REFRESH|NOCAREREFRESH window and use its port. It will look as though no window is there. -Martin Murray
