Instead of managing windows by shading them, what do you think about putting
a "remote control" in the main window of whatever you're debugging? I added
the following crude functions listed below to oversight.js, then called
addPageController() right after calling Oversight.run(). The result is a
DynLayer that easily lets you bring a specific window (or all three) into
focus. If pursued further, this approach could lead to a best-of-both-worlds
between Oversight and DynAPI.Diagnose: some stuff happening in external
windows, some stuff happening inside the main one.
On a related note, does anyone know of a way to filter out Oversight's
windows from the Windows task switcher? That would be a handy trick, saving
many unnecessary alt-tabs.
-bill
addPageController : function() {
OversightController= new DynLayer()
OversightController.setSize(100,100)
OversightController.moveTo(DynAPI.document.w-OversightController.w,0)
OversightController.setBgColor('#cc99ff')
DynAPI.document.addChild(OversightController)
OversightController.setHTML(
'<a href="#" onClick="Oversight.idewin.focus()">Show IDE</a><br>' +
'<a href="#" onClick="Oversight.Oversightwin.focus()">Show
Console</a><br>' +
'<a href="#" onClick="Oversight.watcher.focus()">Show Watcher</a><br>' +
'<a href="#" onClick="Oversight.arrange()">Arrange All</a>'
)
},
arrange : function() {
Oversight.idewin.moveTo(0,0); Oversight.idewin.focus()
Oversight.Oversightwin.moveTo(262,0);Oversight.Oversightwin.focus()
Oversight.watcher.moveTo(0,screen.availHeight-230);Oversight.watcher.focus()
},

Windows users might find my resource monitor useful. It's a small little window that sits in the corner of your screen displaying the current system load and memory usage in realtime. It has an audible alert when you are near locking up. It also includes a screen.magnifier which is helpful when building widgets and aligning edges to pixel accuracy. There is also a color matcher. When engaged, move your mouse over the screen. The app will display the hex and RGB values of whatever your cursor is over. You can find it on my site at http://www.nebiru.com <http://www.nebiru.com> click on downloads. best of all, it's free! :) -----Original Message----- From: Pascal Bestebroer [mailto:pa...@dy...] Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 1:44 AM To: dyn...@li...

yeah, I used to show gdi,user and system values as percentages. these are actually win16 items. in windows 9x, I was able to do some thunking to continue displaying them, but in nt/2000, the api changed enough to make this impractical. what i use now is an api constuct termed MemoryStatus. the "load" refers to memory load (!?), and the free mem refers to physical memory that the os has not claimed. This doesn't nescesarily mean the memory is being used, just that windows is holding onto it for paging, etc.. if you go to the "details" view, you may get a clearer picture of what is going on. I haven't really used ME at all (i got totally off 9x august 1999) so I'm not sure what are normal values for you. you should start to get a feel for it after some use. personally, with win2k, i have mine go red at 95%, blink at 97 and not beep until 99. when i hear a beep, i know the system is hosed. but usally at that point, my free mem has already started to rapidly decrease. happy coding! -----Original Message----- From: Richard Bennett To: dyn...@li...
