A CAPI interface.
A screen, or any argument accepted by convert-to-screen.
A CAPI interface.
A list of keywords.
On Windows or Motif, a CAPI process,
t
or
nil
. On Cocoa, this argument is not supported.
The function
display
displays the CAPI interface
interface
on the specified
screen
(or the current one if not supplied).
If process is not supplied, then if owner is supplied interface runs in owner 's process, otherwise interface runs in the process of the parent of interface if it is a document-container, or in a new process created for interface if not.
On Windows and Motif, if
process
is
t
, then
interface
runs in a newly-created process. If process is
nil
,
interface
runs in the current process. Otherwise
process
is expected to be a CAPI process, and
interface
runs in it. A CAPI process is a
mp:process
which was created by calling
display
. You can pass only a CAPI process as
process
, because it needs to handle messages using the LispWorks event loop. The default value of
process
is
t
.
On Cocoa, all CAPI interfaces run in the Cocoa Event Loop process (which is the main thread of LispWorks) and therefore the process argument is not supported. If the value of process is any process other than the Cocoa Event Loop process an error is signalled.
owner specifies an owner for interface , which should be another CAPI interface. interface inherits a number of attributes from owner , including the default process, default screen and default display state.
window-styles , if supplied, sets the window-styles slot of interface . See interface for information about window-styles .
display
returns its
interface
argument.
Note: Use the function contain to display objects other than interfaces.
Note: A generic function interface-display is called immediately after
display
displays an interface. You can add post-display code by defining your own
:after
method.
