3510.0. "Popup Moving Event ?" by TAV02::MELVYN () Tue Oct 23 1990 13:49

Dear All,

How is it possible for an application to know that a popup dialog box
has been moved by the user on the screen.

I have tried using two methods :

1. setting up a translation table in my uil as follows :

	translations = translation_table (
				"#augment",
				"<ConfigureReq> : movedb()");
   and in my application adding the appropiate actions.

   This resulted in nothing happening when I move the popup. I also know
   that the action works because if I replace ConfigureReq with Expose
   I get the expose event.

2. I tried adding an event handler using StructureNotifyMask and I only 
   get an event when the window is resized. I thought this mask was also 
   supposed to handle movement of the window or a position change.

   By the way I tried the event handler on the Popup itself and on its parent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mel
