WA_Hidden

Online Status

Hello,

I use WA_Hidden to open a non visible window with RA_OpenWindow in AmigaOS 4.
It doesn't seem to work in 3.2?

Does someone use it successfully?

Thanks.

It's not being passed along to Intuition. We will fix this, thanks for the bug report.

You're welcome.

In the meantime, is there another way to do it?

Online Status

No, I don't think so.

Unfortunately due to problems with Hyperion management I am not currently doing any work on the OS and thus am unable to promise any fix by any particular time.

Thanks for info.

Does the statement about OS development apply to everyone working on the OS? or just yourself?

Online Status

I believe it is Just myself currently, and hopefully it can be resolved and will thus be only temporary.

Good to hear...good luck getting your problems resolved

just a note:
from
clib/intuition_protos.h in NDK3.2.

/*--- functions in V46 or higher (Release 3.1.4) ---*/
BOOL ShowWindow( struct Window *window, struct Window *other );
BOOL HideWindow( struct Window *window );
/*--- functions in V47 or higher (Release 3.2) ---*/
ULONG IntuitionControlA( APTR object, CONST struct TagItem *taglist );
ULONG IntuitionControl( APTR object, ... );

... note. all previous functions of intuition are OS3.0..
so basically, you can hide/show windows in OS3 if you're OS3.14 or OS3.2 .... all OS3.9 based OS around (there are many: coffinOS, amikit,..) can't do that.
so basically apps will free everything /reopen everything to hide/show ... (like android apps)
for example, MUI has something to hide/show anything, but it's all closing/recreating boopsies object.

@krabob, thanks but I don't want the window to be displayed from the start, So, using HideWindow for example, will come too late.
