That worked. Thanks.

But seeing your code gave me an idea that made things easier for what I am trying to do.

BTW, why are you using VARARGS68K for your hook?

The complete source code to button.gadget so we can start to build our own classes. Make file, docs, the works.

I don't want all the groups to use the backfill, just 1. I am looking for the hook source code on how to fill it with a solid color.

LAYOUT_BackFill (struct Hook *) A layer backfill hook to use in the group to provide a more complex background pattern. This is not propagated to the group's children; use LAYOUT_LayoutBackFill for that. Pass ~0L to have the group use the window.class backfill. Defaults to use the window.class back...

I figured out my mistake. I had all the code correct, but I was testing it in RAM: for ease. I totally forgot it has to be on a NGFS system. It works as it should on my Workbench partition. Stays as a link with each scan.

X5000 dos.library 53.158

Thanks for your patience.

Got it all figured out. Thanks Colin! Just so I am clear: the first time I scan a drawer and find a hard link, it shows up as a hard link. The next time it shows not as a link, but as the actual destination item (file or drawer). Is that the correct behavior? So it looks seemless? It opens the corre...

Colinw,

Yes, the system can make hard links. But it looks like it can't identify them yet?

After seeing Javier's results, and more testing, my code is working. But confused by the results. RAM:hard -> RAM:T/WEx_Ver is my test. Make hard link in program. Quit. In shell, list ram:. Link is correct. Open my program, link does not show as hard link, just as the file it points to. (Soft links ...

In my project I open sub-windows that respond to Enter (OK button, close window) and Esc (Cancel button, close window). Some of them open Asl file requesters. What I noticed is that if you type in a filename and hit Enter, it for some reason is also passed on to my window and it also receives an Ent...

I am trying to use IDOS->MakeLink(). No problem with soft, but hard is giving me an issue: IDOS->MakeLink("RAM:test",(STRPTR)"RAM:T/WEx_Ver",LINK_SOFT) works fine. For hard links: if ((MakeLinkLock=IDOS->Lock("RAM:T/WEx_Ver",ACCESS_READ))) { if (!IDOS->MakeLink("RA...
