I'm sorry, I miss-stated. I'm interested in being informed if the window becomes activated, or inactivated. I've set the appropriate IDCMP flag (ACTIVEWINDOW and INACTIVEWINDOW), but don't seem to recieve any messages. What am I missing? Thanks, Lance – via Whap!

There twoi kinds of flags, and it looks like you are setting the one which determines that the window should be active when it opens. try setting the other field with the ACTIVATE flag.. that might make the difference

Lance, I should read more messages before replying. I don't know why your program doesn't get the messages, my little test program certainly does. What language are you using? Perhaps you could show us your NewWindow structure before you call OpenWindow(), then also perhaps the loop you use to look at messages. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.
