If you want to have x() and y() initialized (before window is shown() and fltk::run() loop, call Window(X,Y,W,H)). Othervise you can use layout(), and pickup position from there. But beware, layout() will be called twice at window startup; first time will fill x() and y() with random values and second with correct ones (this will be two calls one after one so you will not notice, but probably can have impact on sensitive widgets that does not redraw itself correctly). ...or you can use handle() :) -- Sanel _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
