Hi Andreas,

Here are a few feature requests:

*Catch double-click events. Sure this can already be accomplished in Hollywood (kind of) using Time Measurement or Timeout functions, but this does not respect what the user has set in the system prefs for the interval between clicks in order to trigger a double-click event.

*Define drag area for borderless windows.

*Copy to and read from the system clipboard (including access to any clipboard units that are available). This can already be done through DOS in OS4---and probably other flavors of Amiga OS (I'm just not sure about it)---using "C:Clip"; but it would be nice to have this handled within Hollywood so that it could be used on any OS for which the app is compiled.

*Some way of having Hollywood apps communicate with each other (sending and receiving commands). This can be done through SendRexxCommand(), but this is limitted to operating systems that support it.

That's all for now. . .I think.

Thanks,

[Allanon]

Hi

I support the petition for some means of communicating between applications. Some kind of event thing triggered by a message to the relevant application that 'you've got mail, and what are you going to do about it?'. Pleeeeeeze....

regards Jesper

Excepting the double click feature, I've already had all of them on my to do list

Yes this would admittedly be a neat feature... I'd know how to do the Amiga implementation but Windows & Mac always requires some research/thinking/planning but it'll surely come
