- I've been testing the Cakewalk for Window's demo on my 486.
- I was wondering whether any Windows experts could tell me why
- Cakewalk tools use windows which have to be incorporated within
- the main Cakewalk application. Other Windows applications I've used
- generate windows that are separate from the main application window.
-
- The reason I'm curious about this is because, if Cakewalk (or some other
- Windows Midi application) did not do this, then when using Amish Desktop,
- you could essentially open ALL the utilities that you need, putting them
- around the virtual desk top screen. Amish desktop creates a large virtual
- desktop, along with a little icon which lets you click onto the portion of
- the virtual window space you want to use. This would make Cakewalk much
- more usable. Without this, I'm constrained to squeeze and overlay utilities
- on my small 14" monitor, or close them altogether.
-
- Are there other Windows midi program which use separate windows, or is
- this a technical impossibility with Windows applications in general.
-
- ( Waiting for MIDI-compatible OS 2.1... )
