Re: [fltk.general] FLTK usage in passing pointers from file to file - Forums

Regarding passing window "pointers" from one file to another, I must thank you for assisting me in this endeavour. It works well now that I understand the use of "new", begin() and end(). I do note that the text _expression_ in each instance of my declared windows only appears for the first window....or I may be missing something. Is there a way to easily have a text at the top of each window which would describe the data that will be displayed? I did look at Fl_Text_Display but it seemed rather to be an overkill.
It would be good to hear your thoughts. Take care.

I think it would help all of us if you could post here a small, compileable, example of what you have done, so we could see for ourselves...

Did you see the example I posted earlier? Did that work when you tried it?

An example like that from you would help us comprehend what you are doing in your code.

There may also be an issue of terminology at work here; there are certain terms used to refer to GUI elements that are normal and expected for the folk in this forum, but which may be unfamiliar to you

For example, when you refer to "the text _expression_ in each instance of my declared windows" I'm not sure at all what you mean - do you mean the window title, for example? Or something else?

So a suitably commented example might clarify things - code is (usually!) less ambiguous than speech!
