Manager: Window Manager


Carbon will support the Window Manager. Be aware, however, that if you use custom window definition procedures (also known as WDEFs), you must compile them as PowerPC-native code. In addition:

* Your application must use the functions defined by the Window Manager whenever it creates and disposes of Window Manager data structures. For example, instead of directly creating and disposing of window records, applications must call such Window Manager functions as GetNewCWindow and DisposeWindow.

* You must revise your application so that it accesses Window Manager data structures only through accessor functions.

* You are encouraged to adopt the standard Mac OS 8 window definition procedures in your application. Applications that use the standard Mac OS 8 window definition procedures inherit the Mac OS 8 human interface appearance. Applications that use custom window definition procedures work correctly, but because custom definition procedures invoke their own drawing routines, Mac OS 8 can't draw these applications with the current appearance.

Supported  AreFloatingWindowsVisible

Supported  BeginUpdate

Supported  BeginWindowProxyDrag

Supported  BringToFront

Supported  CalcVis

Supported  CalcVisBehind

Unsupported  CallDeskHookProc

You cannot access the DeskHook global variable in Carbon. Therefore, Carbon does not support application-defined functions for drawing the desktop.

Supported  CallWindowDefProc

Supported  CheckUpdate

Supported  ClipAbove

Supported  CloneWindow

Unsupported  CloseWindow

The CloseWindow function is not supported because developers do not allocate their own memory for windows in Carbon. Use the DisposeWindow function to remove a window instead.

Supported  CreateWindowFromCollection

Supported  CreateWindowFromResource

Supported  DebugInvertVisRegion

Supported  DebugPrintWindow

Supported  DebugPrintWindowList

Unsupported  DeskHookProcPtr

You cannot access the DeskHook global variable in Carbon. Therefore, Carbon does not support application-defined functions for drawing the desktop.

Unsupported  DisposeDeskHookUPP

You cannot access the DeskHook global variable in Carbon. Therefore, Carbon does not support application-defined functions for drawing the desktop.

Supported  FindWindow

Unsupported  findwindow

Use FindWindow instead.

Supported  FrontNonFloatingWindow

Supported  FrontWindow

Unsupported  GetAuxWin

Remove application reliance on AuxWinRec data structures; in the future, the information in these structures may be invalid or unavailable to applications.

Unsupported  GetCWMgrPort

Carbon does not support accessing the Window Manager port. You should draw into your own graphics port instead.

Accessing the window control list is not supported in Carbon. Use the Control Manager's control embedding hierarchy functions (CreateRootControl, GetRootControl, EmbedControl, AutoEmbedControl, GetSuperControl, GetIndexedSubControl, and SetControlSupervisor) to determine control ordering instead.
