- Is there a clean way of detecting that a DA is about to become active so that
- I can replace vectors and clean up any other mess that might cause
- incompatibility?
-
- Also is there a reliable way of knowing when the DA has become inactive and its
- safe to grab the vectors back (I know I could wait for th inevitable redraw messages but this seems hacky).
-
- I ask because my application (a sequencer) needs to steal a number of vectors
- (incl MIDI/IKBD, timerA) that the DA (maybe another MIDI prog) might also want.
