I want the user to be able to click a point within one of the windows displayed on the desktop (i.e. not just Gambas forms) in order to select that window. The code below shows how to access properties of all windows: Dim dWindow As DesktopWindow = Null Desktop.Windows.Refresh() For Each dWindow In Desktop.Windows If dWindow.Minimized = False Then Print "Window: Name=" & dWindow.Name & ", " & "X=" & dWindow.X & ", Y=" & dWindow.Y & ", " & "Width=" & dWindow.Width & ", Height=" & dWindow.Height Endif Next
The only way I've thought of is to define a transparent form covering the whole desktop with an associated mouse click event, which supplies the co-ordinates of the point clicked. Then by examination of each dWindow property (i.e. X, Y, Width, Height), one can determine which window has been clicked. Is that the best way? But how can one allow for the situation where the user has clicked a point which is within 2 windows i.e. is there a property of dWindow which shows if that window is the 'top' one (i.e. covering the other one at that point)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
