Thomas) Distribution: world Organization: University of Utah CS Dept Lines: 13 I am trying to program an application that is moving icons (bitmaps) around in a window. It works fine when I know what the background pixmap is so I can repaint the areas vacated by the icons with the background. However, if I use the background inherited from the parent window, I don't have a handle to the pixmap, and so can't repaint with it. My query is twofold. Is there a way I can either 1) cause a specific region (specified by a bitmask) to be repainted with the window background, or 2) find out the background pixmap of an arbitrary window? -- =Spencer ({ihnp4,decvax}!utah-cs!thomas, thomas@cs.utah.edu)
