What happens when you cover up the window with another window, then
expose it? The lines probably don't show up.
It sounds as if you're not handling the FL_DRAW events properly in
the free object handler. I'd guess you're trying to do something
like this:
FILE *file = fl_show_fselector(...);
while(readline_from_file(file, line))
draw(line);
whereas what you should do is something like this:
FILE *file = get_file_from_fselector();
while(readline_from_file(file, &line))
store_line(line);
fl_redraw_object(freeobject);
and in the free object handler:
switch(event) {
case FL_DRAW:
draw_stored_lines();
break;
....
}
Then you don't need to call fl_winset(), since XForms knows that you're
drawing in the free object when it calls the free object handler. Also,
you've saved the information about how to redraw the window after it's
been hidden by another window.
