Re: window always on top

Hello Andrew,

| Is there a way to make a window always on top of another??? thanks!

AFAIK, there are two possibilities.

(1) Arrange the top window as a toolbar within capi:docking-layout.
Drawbacks:
- you cannot get feedback when the user makes this toolbar show or hide
- you can only specify initial coordinates for this window by means of capi:define-interface
but cannot save and restore them later.

(2) Display the top window in the same process as the parent window, e.g.

(capi:display (make-instance 'top-interface)
     ;:window-styles '(:hides-on-deactivate
     ;   :always-on-top :movable-by-window-background)
      :owner parent-interface
     :process nil)))

Drawback: none of the window styles works on Windows.

Re: window always on top

The window styles don't work on Windows. Do they work
on the Mac?

If you're willing to do something different for each
platform, here is something that works for Windows. 

(defconstant fli-hwnd-top-most -1)
(defconstant fli-swp-no-move 2)
(defconstant fli-swp-no-size 1)

(fli:define-c-typedef fli-hwnd (:unsigned :long))
(fli:define-c-typedef fli-bool (:boolean :int))

(fli:define-foreign-function
    (get-parent "GetParent")
    ((hwnd fli-hwnd))
  :result-type fli-hwnd
  :calling-convention :stdcall)

(fli:define-foreign-function
    (set-window-pos "SetWindowPos")
    ((hwnd fli-hwnd)
     (hwnd-insert-after :int) ;; really fli-hwnd
     (x :int)
     (y :int)
     (width :int)
     (height :int)
     (u-flags (:unsigned :int)))
   :result-type fli-bool
   :calling-convention :stdcall)

Re: window always on top

If I quit making these 2am and 3am posts, maybe I'll
quit making silly errors. 

Unsetting the top-most attribute would involve calling
set-window-pos again with one of:

fli-hwnd-bottom 1           ;; bottom of z order
fli-hwnd-no-top-most -2     ;; no z-order change
fli-hwnd-top 0              ;; top of z order

One probably would want to continue to use
fli-swp-no-move and fli-swp-no-size.

RE: Foreign Function Calls to Java

On 2004/06/23, Rich Hickey announced the pending
release of jfli, a comprehensive Lisp-y interface to
the Java Native Interface (JNI). Rich estimated jfli
will be in beta in a month. Thanks, Rich!

I need to commit to a direction before then, so I
wrote a minimal test bed to prove to myself that I can
meet my promises even if jfli is delayed for any
reason. This testbed is not a substitute for jfli in
any manner. I look forward eagerly to jfli's release.

If anyone is interested in a "sneak peek" at Java-Lisp
integration, you may download the code from:

http://199.234.154.207/jni-lisp.html

The code is tested in Lispworks for Windows. The Lisp
and Java code is portable. The C code, in c2lisp.c, is
Windows-specific but should easily be portable. The C
code is minimal. Only functions FillVMArgs and
Java_Lisp_callVoidPtrJstring are required. FillVMArgs
could be replaced with FLI calls from Lispworks.
Except for 3 lines of debug code,
Java_Lisp_callVoidPtrJstring is a 4-line function
enabling callbacks to Lisp from Java.

This is a bug which we'll fix for the next release.

Thanks for reporting it.

We'll fix that too. I can't think of a workaround in LispWorks for
Macintosh 4.3.

Problems getting started with LispWorks 4.3 Personal Edition in GNU/Linux

Hello,

I'm having problems getting started with LispWorks 4.3 Personal Editon
under GNU/Linux, and I was hoping some one here could tell me what I'm
doing wrong.

After downloading

  lwlper43.tar.gz
  lwlperdoc43.tar.gz,
  lwlper-license.sh
  lwlper-install.sh

I ran

  sh lwlper-license.sh
  sh lwlper-install.sh

as root.  After getting a lot of warnings about chown using '.' instead
of ':', installation was complete.  This did not create a symlink to
lispworks-personal-4300 in /usr/bin so I did that myself.  I then edited
/usr/local/lib/LispWorksPersonal/lib/4-3-0-0/config/use-motif-library
where I set :prefer-version to 2, because that's what the Knowledge Base
tells me to do for OpenMotif.

Now when I run lispworks-personal-4300, LispWorks doesn't start, but
only produces the output I've attached to this e-mail.

I'm using Gentoo Linux with a v2.6 kernel, X.Org 6.7.0, OpenMotif
2.1.30 on a Pentium-M 1.4GHz laptop.

Sorry about the chown warnings -- we have now updated the script to
match the GNU syntax.

                                                             I then edited

Not for version 4.3 though.

Great.  Not that it was such a big deal, but it was kind of annoying.

Ah you're right.  I didn't even notice the version.  Mea culpa.

I've now set :PREFER-VERSION to :MOTIF and I managed to install
OpenMotif 2.2.  The demo applications that come with it seem to work,
but LispWorks doesn't.  When I start LispWorks now, I get a Motif window
titled 'Message' with an OK button and the text:
