closeing a window?

I have created a window to ask the user for some options.
I now want to close this window and enter a different
full screen graphics mode..

How do i remove the window - I can minimise it but is there not a way to close it completely??

FreeGadget works, though I found no reference to that in the manual.

That's the way I do it...

Yup, FreeGadget will do the job perfectly. You see, the trick remembering that EVERYTHING is a gadget, INCLUDING windows. ;-) So all those lovely *Gadget* commands (like SetGadgetText) will work on windows too...and in fact on pretty much any gadget...

Me wonders what FreeGadget Desktop() does ;)

Thanks!

Hmm, on a related topic, it seems HideGadget also closes a window permanently.

Any call to showgadget afterwards just loses the focus of the current window and nothing appears.

Is this correct behaviour? Doesn't seem like it.

Studied it some more. Curiously I've no problem hiding the first window I create, and any that belong to it.

However any other window I create independant of the others is giving problems. More experimenting I think.

Try using setgadgetshape and move it off screen instead. Get the desktop height first then set the Windows Y position to the desktop Y position then just move it into place when you want it.

This is a solution I use and seems to work well.
