    Just curious...
    Is it allowed to have two application objects within a single cource code of MUI program?
    E.g.
    Code:
    app = ApplicationObject,
        MUIA_Application_Title, 
    ...
    End;
      app2 = ApplicationObject,
        MUIA_Application_Title, 
    ...
    End;

    I really miss draggable screens... do you? I guess I'm in the minority unfortunately.

    AFAIK as long as you don´t mix any objects/classes/signals/pointers it should work fine.

    Potential side effects could be that you may run out of task signals.

    But why would you want to do something like that? Just asking as you may just overcomplicate something.

    You are threading in a dangerous territory here - I'd recommend moving the 2nd app into its own thread.

    I was just wondering if it would give some advantages, e.g. the second app object would be a separate task/process in much easiest way than it's commonly supposed to do. :-D

    A second application is not running in a new task. It will be the same task.

    A MUI application effectively runs on the process that calls MUIM_Application_NewInput. While it's possible to have it called twice for both app objects, there really is no benefit there. You must call NewInput on the process you created the MUIC_Application object on btw.

    Ok. Clear as a cristal :-)

    Another question regarding MUI:
    Is there a programmable way to prevent an user from iconifying an application at all?
