- Would it be possible to:
-
- - Intercept all toolbox calls to desktop related toolsets
- (eg: window manager, menu manager, quickdraw, qd aux, etc).
-
- - Keep an array of main window handles, one for each application
- (process-id) that is started.
-
- - Re-direct all screen oriented calls to operate on the main window
- of the appropriate application.
-
- - In this way, have multiple applications running on the desktop under
- GNO, with each application running in a scaleable window with a menu bar.
-
- Has anyone given this (or something similar) some thought?
