While that makes sense to me, I would like to add that here I don't get the qualifiers at WMHI_GADGETUP, but I do at WMHI_RAWKEY. So I would have to remember them until the WMHI_GADGETUP message. An IDCMP_GADGETUP message simply supplies them immediately and without any room for error.

Thank you both.

I just got PeekQualifier() to work when I read about WINDOW_Qualifier. I can't believe I missed that. Must be my aging eyes.

I cannot tell exactly, I would have to test it myself.

In a pure Intuition environment you would receive a IDCMP_GADGETUP message and should see the key which caused it in IntuiMessage->Code and the qualifiers in IntuiMessage->Qualifier.

But I like the automatic layout and the look of it, so I will try some more.

My question is: how do I find out what caused a string gadget gadget up message (ESC key or ENTER key or HELP ...

I have read the documentation on these routines but I can't find an example anywhere.
A code example would probably help to explain what this documentation is on about.

Great explanation, thanks!

Tried it (on OS4.1 FE) and it worked. I noticed that although the alpha channel part of is ignored, I still had to set it to 0xFF (like the docs say), or Text() would not show text in the chosen color.

Hello,

What is the right way to set a pen to a certain color and then use it from within your program running in a window you openend on say the Workbbench screen? My guess is that you have to use ObtainPen() and GetColorMap(), but after reading the AutoDocs, I still have no idea how to do it as I ...

Did not think of that. Thanks.

Shouldn't commands like NetShutDown and Reboot do nothing when called with a question mark with nothing entered?
I think a command that will do something as drastic as rebooting should at least ask if you are sure, or otherwise be called with something like Reboot FORCE or Reboot RIGHTNOW.
