Just use the createWindow function.

For a child window this would be something like:

newChild=createWindow(0,0,200,200,"Child Window",WINDOW_NORMAL,0,0,0)

In BlueGUI v1 there was a bug where child windows could not go outside of their parent, which is not proper windows behaviour.

However, if you want to force the child window to stay inside of the parent, you can use setParentGadget - this is technically a bug, but I have been asked not to fix it!

It's nice to be able to force a window to stay within another window.

Somewhere in the examples portion of the help files it has this mentioned in a file (not in the title of file)

@RobK
I can't get the Helpview code to work correctly, so I have been working on the trial version of it even though it would be nice to make the file beta so it does not keep on closing.

Duffer why do you keep asking this? What the big hurry?

The current beta is so close to final I doubt you will be able to tell the difference. And all version 1 people can beta V2beta.

I can't figure why so many people keep pushing the final??? I want a solid product and RobK is putting forth the time to do it right. Plus he kind enough to let us have the most current beta!
Unless you have a product ready for market, I wish people would practice patience.

Hi granada,

Have a look an the introduction guide which explains how menus work in more detail. Have a look at the help files for the individual commands as well, which will hopefully clarify things.

There isn't any place where you "insert your own code" specifically.
