Ok,
So the solution for problem 1) (see above) is to substitute the lines with:
RETURN, ~ISA(oWin.GetSelect(), 'ELLIPSE')
with this line:
o = oWin.GetSelect()
IF ISA(oWin.GetSelect(), 'ELLIPSE') && (o.NAME EQ self.Name) THEN RETURN, 0 $
ELSE RETURN, 1
and to add an Init method:
FUNCTION AvoidMovingObj::Init, Name
self.Name = Name
RETURN, 1
END
PRO AvoidMovingObj__define
void = {AvoidMovingObj, inherits GraphicsEventAdapter, Name:''}
END
and then to set the event_handler property like this:
e.window.EVENT_HANDLER=Obj_New('AvoidMovingObj', 'Obj1Name')
That solves that...
Cheers,
