Mac Folks,
Another week, more Mac woes. It seems Mac users understand
their machines almost as well as I do. :-)
Two new problems I haven't seen before. Both with the
latest Mac OS installed (I'm told).
1. We create a window. We wish to use the CURSOR command
to select a location in the window. On the Mac, it seems
we cannot record the "click". That is, the CURSOR command
doesn't ever return from a button event. It is as though
we were not clicking in the current graphics window. (Only
one window open, and I created it, so I know it is the
right window.) If we kill the window with the mouse, we
return from CURSOR, but with garbage in the X and Y values.
Any ideas?
2. When we create a resizeable graphics window, we get
zillons of redraw events in our event handler as we
make the window bigger and bigger. On Windows I would
turn the "Show Window Contents While Dragging" button off.
Is there something equivalent on the Macs?
Now that I think about it, I wonder if one or the
other of these problems is related to RETAIN? Anyway,
always looking for good ideas. Mac users seem to get
a dim view of IDL after awhile, although I am not
convinced they are accusing the right software group.
But they have a HARD time getting their colleague's programs
to run correctly.
Thanks,
David
