display

Function
Summary

The display function displays a CAPI interface on a specified screen.

Syntax

display interface &key screen process

Arguments

interface

A CAPI interface.

screen

A screen.

process

A mp:process , t or nil .

Description

The function display displays the CAPI interface interface on the specified screen (or the current one if not supplied).

The interface runs in the current process (thread) if process is nil . It runs in a newly-created process if process is t , and this is the default value. Otherwise, process is expected to be a CAPI process, and interface runs in it. Note that a CAPI interface should be modified only in its own process.

Use the function contain to display objects other than interfaces.

Example
(capi:display (make-instance 'capi:interface
                             :title "Test"))
