I list this list!! (The answers and help here are really fast !! :-)
This is what I did. ("base" form) please excuse the line-wrapping from
the mailer :-(
semi-pseudo code follows...
FD_bob_form *init_setup_page( void )
{
FD_bob_form *tmp_setup;
Window tmpwin;
Pixmap pmap;
tmp_setup = create_form_bob_form();
tmpwin =
fl_prepare_form_window(tmp_setup->bob_form,FL_PLACE_CENTER,
FL_FULLBORDER,"This is my base form");
/** Find the pixmap from my database of pixmaps **/
if(!get_bob_pixmap("js_background", &pmap, NULL, NULL))
fprintf(stderr,"init_setup_page: Error getting Winbow
background pixmap: js_background\n");
else
XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap(fl_get_display(),tmpwin,pmap);
return tmp_setup;
}
Then do a fl_show_form_window() when I want it.....
Now, in a callback from a button on the "base" form, open a new form
"normally"
but with the pixmap as a(n) background object. (and
fl_deactivate_form("base form"))
FD_sub_window *create_form_sub_window(void)
{
FL_OBJECT *obj;
FD_sub_window *fdui = (FD_sub_window *) fl_calloc(1,
sizeof(FD_sub_window));
fdui->sub_window = fl_bgn_form(FL_NO_BOX, 355, 414);
fdui->sub_background = obj =
fl_add_pixmap(FL_NORMAL_PIXMAP,0,0,355,414,"");
fl_set_pixmap_data(obj, sub_background);
.... (stuff deleted) ...
}
Then later,
fl_show_form(sub_window...) NOTE: This sub-window never goes behind
the base form window.
When the sub_window is clipped, then exposed by ANOTHER window, the
sub-window fails to
redraw properly.
This is on the SGI (5.3 compiled) and also 5.3 code run under 6.3 AND on
Linux Elf

Your example seems to be VERY simmilar to mine except for the child form
redraw.
I will (try to) try "all combinations". Unfortunatly I have a netowrk
protocol problem
to solve.
