Creating Windows

The following Window Manager functions for creating windows are not recommended with Mac OS 8:


GetNewWindow

Creates a new monochrome window from a window resource. The GetNewWindow function was originally implemented prior to Color QuickDraw. In Mac OS 8, you should call the Color QuickDraw function GetNewCWindow instead of GetNewWindow to programmatically create a window, because Color QuickDraw is always available in Mac OS 8.


VERSION NOTES

Not recommended with Mac OS 8 and later.


NewWindow

Creates a new monochrome window from a parameter list. The NewWindow function was originally implemented prior to Color QuickDraw. In Mac OS 8, you should call the Color QuickDraw function NewCWindow instead of NewWindow to programmatically create a window, because Color QuickDraw is always available in Mac OS 8.


VERSION NOTES

Not recommended with Mac OS 8 and later.
