Baxter) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.programmer Subject: moving dialog items... Message-ID: Date: 20 Mar 91 02:22:12 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 19 'loha... A question.. I've got a modeless dialog box with PICT resource items on it acting like buttons. I have one that I want to 'animate' in a crude way by having it move from one position to another and back again. I thought I'd be tricky and get the item's Rect, HideDItem, then change the Rect, then ShowDItem. Guess what, it didn't work. It wouldn't redraw the PICT, though the Rect did in fact move. However, upon a refresh with DialogSelect(), kaboomy. Ok, so any ideas. I could, I suppose, use a UserItem instead of a PICT, and 'manually' draw the PICT, but wouldn't that still cause a nice pleasant bomb upon a DialogSelect? (or maybe not). Anywho, any ideas send 'em this way! ----------------------- gb2a@andrew.cmu.edu baxter@a.cfr.cmu.edu baxter@imga.cfr.cmu.edu q100gb2a@vb.cc.cmu.edu "Only a Hawaiian can say Humuhumunukunukuapuaa five times fast, correctly."
