Libes) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.programmer Subject: Help me cheat! Message-ID: Date: 28 Nov 89 04:57:47 GMT Organization: Class of '91, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 14 Does anyone know how to "force" a window in another program to update, without any user input? I am trying to write a screen saver as a Multifinder application (just for fun) and the only problem I've come across is getting the menubar and the windows of the foreground application to update. How do the normal screen savers do it? Must I patch a toolbox call? Also, it would be great if I could get the list of windows. The low memory global, WindowList, is always null in Multifinder. Where did Apple move it? I understand that everything I'm doing to against Apple's guidelines, but I much prefer a cheating Multifinder app to any INIT. -luni (ml10@andrew.cmu.edu)
