Stephan,
Since you are going to show at BeGeistert what app_server can do,
I think I should write what I have accomplished to show this too.
2 major things I've done:
1) you can created any type of window you wish (window_feel).
You can have modal_all and they would say always on top with focus
always on them. Floating_all windows will always hover above
application type windows. You can even create, show and hide
subset windows and add them to what ever B_NORMAL_FEEL window
you wish. B_MODAL/FLOATING_APP_WINDOW_FEEL are also supported and
play nice inside this new window manager. There is even support for
Tracker back-most(Desktop) window and system windows, windows which
appear in front on any other window. IIRC system windows cannot
be created from client side so you cannot demo with them. :-)
Changing workspaces also works, by pressing CTRL+F#, and
windows will be shown for whatever workspace they were created for.
Note, that ATM, you cannot change a window's workspaces by
code and you cannot change one window's workspace by holding its
tab and pressing CTRL+F#. Will take care of these shortly.
2) I wanted to implement mouse capture methods BView::SetEventMask,
SetMouseEventMask, but currently I have only one of them: SetMouseEventMask.
What's funny is that SetEventMask actually behaves like SetMouseEventMask.
:-D, so setting B_POINTER_EVENTS will give what R5's SetMouseEventMask
does. :-)
That's it. Maybe I will have time to respond to other emails until
tomorrow mid-afternoon, but for the weekend I'll inaccessible as
I'll be at may parent's home.
Have fun at BeGeistert!
b-bye,
Adi.
