- Hi folks,
- I have a problem that someone more familiar with curses may be able to
- advise me on. I have a curses progrm that has a number of windows on the
- screen. I want to put up an alert window occasionally then get rid of it
- and have the windows underneath redraw themselves. It's not very easy to
- extremely difficult to know what windows are on the screen. Currently I have
- to update each window that the alert covered (with a touchwin). A touchwin on
- the alert window doesn't seem to work.
-
- Is there an easy way of doing this?
-
- If anyone is interested in the answer I'll summarize on the net.
- Thanks in advance
- Kim
