25 /* FUNCTION
26 This routine modifies the state of your window's IDCMP (Intuition
27 Direct Communication Message Port).
29 Depending on the current state in the IDCMPFlags of the window and
30 the specified flags these actions are possible:
32 IDCMP flags Action
33 0 0 Nothing happens
34 0 !=0 The flags are copied in the IDCMPFlags of the window
35 and a MessagePort is created and stored in the
36 UserPort of the window.
37 !=0 0 The IDCMPFlags are cleared and the MessagePort in the
38 UserPort is deleted.
39 !=0 !=0 The flags are copied to the IDCMPFlags of the
40 window.
42 INPUTS
43 window - The window to change the IDCMPFlags in.
44 flags - New flags for the IDCMPFlags of the window. See
45 intuition/intuition.h for the available flags.
47 RESULT
48 TRUE if the change could be made and FALSE otherwise.
50 NOTES
51 You can set up the Window->UserPort to any port of your own
52 before you call ModifyIDCMP(). If IDCMPFlags is non-null but
53 your UserPort is already initialized, Intuition will assume that
54 it's a valid port with task and signal data preset and Intuition
55 won't disturb your set-up at all, Intuition will just allocate
56 the Intuition message port half of it. The converse is true
57 as well: if UserPort is NULL when you call here with
58 IDCMPFlags == NULL, Intuition will deallocate only the Intuition
59 side of the port.
61 This allows you to use a port that you already have allocated:
63 - OpenWindow() with IDCMPFlags equal to NULL (open no ports)
64 - set the UserPort variable of your window to any valid port of your
65 own choosing
66 - call ModifyIDCMP with IDCMPFlags set to what you want
67 - then, to clean up later, set UserPort equal to NULL before calling
68 CloseWindow() (leave IDCMPFlags alone) BUT FIRST: you must make
69 sure that no messages sent your window are queued at the port,
70 since they will be returned to the memory free pool.
72 For an example of how to close a window with a shared IDCMP,
73 see the description for CloseWindow().
75 Intuition v50 features WA_UserPort tag, which allows to set
76 the UserPort at OpenWindow stage. Please note that using this tag
77 changes the behaviour of ModifyIDCMP() slightly. Creating/disposing
78 message ports is now up to the app. ModifyIDCMP(win,0) still clears
79 win->UserPort pointer, but the message port is NOT disposed - you
80 need to store it and dispose yourself! Also calling
81 ModifyIDCMP(win,someidcmp) on a window with NULL win->UserPort will
82 NOT create a new port!
