Creating and Closing Windows /

NewWindow

NOT RECOMMENDED WITH MAC OS 8

Creates a new monochrome window with the characteristics specified by a list of parameters. The NewWindow function was originally implemented before the advent of Color QuickDraw. In Mac OS 8, you should call the Color QuickDraw function NewCWindow (see the "Window Manager" chapter in Inside Macintosh: Macintosh Toolbox Essentials) instead of NewWindow to programmatically create a window, because Color QuickDraw is always available in Mac OS 8.
