Is there a way of doing this in the standard system? (I can't see this from reading the labyrinthine project enter code, but I could be missing something ;-) ). Anyone have a changeset to do the same?<br>

</span>> Wow, I remember using this all the time back in the Old Days. I think you wrote the code for MVC to do it. Or maybe it was me after talking with you about it? Dunno. IIRC it wasn?t at all hard in MVC-land but after looking at how this sort of thing is done in Ankh-Morph-pork I?m not sure it?s intelligible to mere humans.<br>

Interesting question. Karl's suggestion of using a shared flap is probably<br>
the quickest expedient. But more generally:<br>
<br>
MorphicProject and MVCProject would need to handle this differently as would<br>
(the regrettably yet to be implemented) SeasideProject, AidaProject, and<br>
CuisMorphic3Project. So the concept would make sense within a given species<br>
of Project.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Maybe an alternative would be to actually make use of the native windows support (finally?) to handle this. I think I remember that one of the prototypes was to have one of the native windows be its own project - so you could with the primary window around like mad between project (event including a Tweak project, say), while this other window just stays open.</div><div><br></div><div>As I understand it, this isn't done yet, and I probably wouldn't be able to do it, but sounds like an actually useful use for the native window concept - a window that sticks around when you switch projects.</div><div><br></div><div>-cbc</div></div></div></div>
