Hi,
I also use zApp.  I've been evaluating it for 1 month now and am
wondering if anyone has the multiple main window problem licked yet.

My app can NOT be an MDI app.  I need multiple, independent windows.
Each of my windows should be able to close and not affect the other
windows.

I guess the closest application that is similar to what I have in
mind is Visual Basic 1.0.  There is a main window with the menubar
and many "forms" which are main windows i.e. they can be closed with
ALT-F4.

I've played with making zPane windows WS_POPUP windows and I can get
separatly managed windows, but when you iconify them, they beep at
me when I single click on the icon.  Double clicking on the zPane icon
brings the window back up.

If anyone has figured out how to use zApp in this way, please follow
up here or e-mail me.

Also,  I haven't figured out a clean way to get the double click event!
It seems zApp gobbles it up along with single clicks and makes them into
one event.  Is there a way to read the event object to see if it is a
double click??

Thanks

Dave
