Because an iconified window is just that: A smaller window, with an 'iconified' state associated to it. You can still draw whatever you want in it. In SDL, there is SDL_APPACTIVE (true/false) events that I send to the application when you iconify/uniconify your SDL application. In Doom, I simply respond to 'iconify window' by triggering a pause event (I don't redraw the window content, but I could draw some logo instead). When you uniconify Doom, you see it's in paused mode. Now I don't remember in various AES documentation (Compendium or elsewhere) that windows could not receive some events because they are iconified. -- Patrice Mandin WWW: http://pmandin.atari.org/ Programmeur Linux, Atari Sp_cialit_: D_veloppement, jeux
