view window icon

I thought I'd seen this come up before but I can't find it in the archives. Is there a way to change the icon that displays in the upper left corner of a view window? I need some way for maoww, the jabber client, (where did the name maoww come from, by the way?) to notify you that you have a message if the chat window is minimized. This is typically done by flashing the windows button on the task bar or changing the icon to indicate a new message has arrived. But you also need to stop flashing or change the icon back once the user looks at the window. However, minimizing and task bars are somewhat operating system specific ideas. Is there even a window minimize/maximize event in /view? Maybe has focus/lost focus would work? Any other ideas? I suppose sound would be an option for /pro users. mike

Not really. Not in a reliable cross-platform way. You will need to make library calls using view/pro. In windows, you can use hide lay to minimize a layout face (a window), but that doesn't always work the same way in different versions of windows. To maximize, I suppose you could try using unview/only lay view/new lay Anton.

You can do this: ; supposing win is your window face ; let's activate it (on Windows, this makes it flash in the ; task bar) win/changes: 'activate show win Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r
