- NOTES ON AutoRaise, 1th July, 1991.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- AutoRaise is a small accessory (1777 bytes) but a giant step towards
- big UNIX systems. It doesn't need much explanation. An alert box lets
- you switch on/off an autoraise function in addition to the usual
- window manager features. It works quite well, except that some times
- after a dialog it 'clicks' in some active window, thinking that it
- has to pop it up.
-
- MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION
-
- 5 times a second, using a timer event, AutoRaise checks
-
- - the top window
- - the window that's currently under the mouse pointer.
-
- If these are not equal (and the mouse is NOT on the desktop)
- it will wait 200 msec, and check again. If all conditions
- are still the same, it simulates a mouse click (appl_tplay)
- to pop up the window the mouse pointer is on. The checks are
- protected by BEG_UPDATE.
-
- Source code available on request.
-
- DISCLAIMER
-
- The author takes no responsibilty for dangerous clicks.

- HINTS | SUGGESTIONS
-
