I did several applications where I read the mouse & did different
things depending
on where in the window it was. The window was subdivided into
buttons &
images. Some buttons acted as sliders, etc. The action lists (one
entry
for each "button") where PV~WAVE strings which were executed to cause
the action. I could edit button location & size and its action. The
image
windows were also "buttons" and responded to the mouse in various
ways.
The problems were a lack of drawing primitives for button drawing
(yes I know
that is the purpose of the widget libraries) and the difficulty of
doing this with
multiple windows.
I liked this approach as it gave complete control over the user
interface and
of course I didn't have to learn widgets (NIH syndrome).
