The better solution I found was to Create a Graphics Port (not a Window) the same size as the Entire Desktop under the menu bar. (See GetGrayRgn()). Then I copy some of the info from GetGrayRgn() into my new Graphics Port. &nbsp;Once this is done, I can use DragGrayRgn() to accomplish the task of dragging my Gray Region over any number of windows at once. &nbsp;The effect is just what I wanted. &nbsp;If any of you would like the same code for doing this, send me an E-mail.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a &quot;parent&quot; index window which contains three &quot;child&quot; windows: a left pane, a right pane, and a divider pane. &nbsp;I want the user to be able to mouse-click on the divider pane, drag a gray region of the divider pane anywhere over all three of the &quot;child&quot; windows, release the mouse button, and then have all &quot;child&quot; windows reposition themselves. &nbsp;I have everything working except for dragging the Gray region over multiple windows. &nbsp;How can this be done? &nbsp;DragGrayRgn() does not seem to suffice as it only drags within one window. &nbsp;I am dragging in the content area of the &quot;parent&quot; window which is covered up by the &quot;child&quot; windows. &nbsp;How can I see the Dragged region while at the same time showing my &quot;child&quot; windows? &nbsp;Please Help!

Dragging Gray Region over multiple windows

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
