TaskMaster Question (PROGRAMMING Q.)



Hi, Netters!

Thanks a lot for the overwhelming response to my last questions!

Now let's keep going...

I think I don't quite understand, what the TaskMaster does in
the following case:
 I have a window with several controls in it:
 - a vertical and horizontal scroll bar
 - a grow box
 - several picture controls for rulers and the like.
 The ruler is the reason why I don't define the scroll bars
 and grow box in the Frame Region of the window (i.e. with
 the appropriate bits in the rWindParam1 template). [The trick
 which goes messing around with the port rectangle, described
 in some Tech Note doens't work either, 'cause there is a LineEdit
 control in the ruler...]
Anyway, how do I access my scroll bars and grow box? Does the
TaskMaster return wInContent or wInControl?
The SizeBox works automatically, when bit 0 in the flags is set,
but does this override the tmGrow bit in the TaskMask? [I want
to handle the grow box myself to guarantee a minimal window size,
but if I reset the corresponding bit in the TaskMask, TM goes on
handling my grow box itself...]
Does it matter whether scroll bars and size box lie outside the
Clip Region? [Of course I would enlarge the Clip Rgn just before
calling TrackControl...]

Any clarifications by the pros are highly appreciated! [Of course
there's a place in the credit roll of Chemix for you!!!]
