I know how to go about creating windows under Suntools, but I can't seem
to find any information about how one would get a pointer to the CURRENT
window the program is running in.
I have an application where I want to make the window the application is
running in fullscreen size.
I am also developing some pop-up menus of my own (a different application
than that above), and I'd like to be able to:
1) Get a pointer to the current window.
2) Save the portion of the window's bitmap that I'm going
to draw over.
3) Draw the pop-up menu.
4) Take down the pop-up and replace with bitmap saved in step 2.
I understand how to create FRAMEs, CANVAS's, etc., but I don't want to
CREATE any windows at all, just use the current window.
As usual, thanks for any help.
