I thought the Xforms mailing list was replaced by the Savanna list. Thanks for putting me back on track. As you stated earlier there is not a lot of activity on the Savanna list. Glad to be back on the list given I work with Xorms apps every day. Any ways, enough of that! You assumption was correct. My application, a caller ID tracking tool, typically runs in a minimized state. This is accomplished by pressing a button on the window that calls "fl_iconify(win_mini);". I set a variable and when a call event occurs I check to see if the window was minimized and if so I call "fl_winshow(win_mini);" to display the window. My problem was when a user minimized the screen using the window manager decoration I did not have a way of knowing whether I should raise the window or not since no variable was set. Hence my need to trap the iconify action from the window manager. I tried using the "fl_form_is_visible(form);" call but it always returns TRUE whether the form is on the display or minimized. Other attempts proved fruitless. i.e checking "form->visible" and "form->wm_border" variables. The problem was resolved by using the "XGetWindowAttributes(fl_display, win_mini, &xwa);" call. This call fills the xwa structure and one variable in that structure is "xwa.map_state". This is TRUE if the window is on the display and FALSE if it is minimized or not on the current display. A test of this variable after a caller event was all I needed to know if I should set my variables and raise the window. Thanks for the help and look forward to participating in  future developments, Serge Jens Thoms Toerring wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:20081018152249.GA21149@toerring.de" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi Serge, I have just seen your question on Savannah concerning min/max events, Please accept my appologies for the long delay - questions are normally asked in the XForms mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cweblog.usuhs.mil/mailman/listinfo/xforms">http://cweblog.usuhs.mil/mailman/listinfo/xforms</a> and the last question coming up on Savannah was that long ago that I don't often check there... </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi Xforms, </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I would like my app to trap window min/max events.

Please correct me if I am wrong but that's the only thing I can think of at the moment. The problem here is that there's no special event that would distinguish it in any way from any other resizing of the window. The only thing visible from an application is receiving a ConfigureNotify X event that informs the application that the windows size has been changed, but there's nothing that indicates that it's due to the minimize/maximize button in the window deco- rations having been clicked on - that's something only the window manager would know about which takes care of these decorations. At the momement there's not even a mechanism to set a callback for ConfigureNotify events (even via fl_register_raw_callback()), probably since an application normal;y doesn't need to know about that (in case you really need to know that a windows size has changed you typically would simply ask for it's size). But I could add something that allows to install a preemptive handler also for ConfigureNotify events if you think it's really needed. But that still won't tell you if that event is due to a min/max button the window manager may display... I am going to send this reply also to the mailing list so that others can comment if they think my answer is wrong or incom- plete or have a good idea for you.
