Re: [sc-users] Hiding and re-showing a window?

Hi James, I've completely disregarded alpha because well, I thought when alpha is 0, the window is still there and thought it would respond to clicks and I'll have code windows floating around, so I thought it would interfere, but trying it now, seems that when alpha is 0 there is this exception that the window does not respond to clicks (i.e. never becomes the front window) so I can access other code windows without the zero alpha window getting on my way (I'm not really sure now if that is reliable though, is this a "feature"?). It is still there in expose etc. (invisible but space is reserved) but I can live with that I guess... 

If there is a better way of doing it I'm always interested though...

Thanks,
Batuhan

Actually there could be a cross-platform issue here. I think the alpha
trick works on mac, but not SwingOSC. For SwingOSC:

w.visible = false;
w.visible = true;

Not sure if SCWindow supports visible_.

PS Yes, once you close a window, it's gone. w.close is permanent.

Set the window's alpha to 0? Then back to 1 when you need it again.

Hi all,
Stuck on something very fundamental, I can't really see how I haven't needed this before but, how should I go for hiding a window to be able to reopen it later on without creating a new Window, with its state intact (i.e. without reinitializing the window and widgets, the ones which I use now are actually subclasses of the standard widgets and they have their own private states)? I know this is also a question of design, but for now, I'd be really happy if I could just close a window (or hide it) and reopen it as if it was always there, just by rendering it invisible then visible... I've ditched the docs and the archives but couldn't find a mention of it at all. Now seems like once I close the window, its gone forever... Any pointers?
