Hu? What? This is all completely crazy. Never ever issue one of MUIs
methods (like setup, hide, etc.) yourself !!!
If you want to close a popup, use the MUIM_Popstring_Close method.
Nothing more simple than that.

No get() is involved. In fact, if you set some attribute to some value,
the set() method of the destination object checks if the thing it should
store is already stored. If it is, it overwrites ti_Data with TAG_IGNORE
which prevents future notification triggers when the set method reaches
notify class.

Almost. During drag operations, the screen is obviously locked. Doing
stdio here will freeze the system. If you need to output debug info
during D&D, write to a file or use kprintf & sushi or something like
that.
MUI does try to avoid calling dispatchers from different task contexts
as much as possible. Nevertheless, dispatchers should be reentrant and
forward unknown methods to their superclass immediately.

I succeeded in using bobs in a custom class, but it's not very nice
the way i've done it...
If you're interested, you can look at my cbob.c exemple in mui_gcc_tests.lha

This must be implemented by the custom class and cannot be done
automatically. However, only very few attributes actually need this
special care. A "normal" attribute isnt very likely do be used in a
notify context which might result in endless-loops.
Also, its sufficient to prevent endless loops if one of the involved
attributes breaks the chain. Thus, if you e.g. link something to a
scrollbar and the scrollbar back to something, you neednt take any
special care since the scrollbar will break notification loops.

Dragging has nothing to do with input.device and is not executed in a
different task context. The only special thing is that layers are
locked during a D&D operation.

What the hell are you guys doing here? You're not working on some
copper/blitter/supercool fancy demo or whatever, we're talking about an
object oriented GUI system!
You *CANNOT* blit into the screens bitmap during a Draw method of some
MUI object. You've got your rastport, render there or dont render at
all!
Please stop this rubbish!

I dont know what you mean with "change". My licencing scheme for
commercial applications is very flexible. Different applications might
get different contracts depending on their type and complexity. MUI
might even become cheaper some day, or maybe it becomes more
expensive... who knows...
However, once we agreed on a licencing scheme for a program, it will of
course remain valid forever. I.e. if we agreed on a one-time fee of DM X
for a program, you can always use and redistribute any version of MUI
together with your program.
