AGL Rendering over entire window (titlebar, etc...)

I am using Carbon/AGL to render some textures to a Cocoa window. When the rendering first begins, the texture draws over the entire window covering the title bar, the red, green, and yellow buttons, and the resize triangle. All of these controls still function, but are not visible.
When the form is resized the slightest bit with the resize triangle, then the title bar and buttons are then drawn. What is going on when the form is resized? Is there a way to have this action take place by default?
The desired action is that I DON'T want to have any of window frame drawn over. I figured this would be a common thing to find the answer to but I haven't been able to turn anything up. Perhaps I'm not using the correct terms when I search.
I don't have the code with me to post, but I can tell you that I'm calling aglChoosePixelFormat, aglCreateContext, aglDestroyPixelFormat, aglSetWindowRef, aglSetCurrentContext, aglSetInteger (ALGSURFACEOPACITY, and AGLSWAPINTERVAL) to set up the rendering.
Then assigning the texture with glTexImage2D(...)
Any ideas? I'll gladly provide more information, or source code.
Thx.

Hello Susan Hull,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're having issues with the color on your internal display.  You have done a great job troubleshooting the issue already, leaving just two options.  First, create a test user on the computer to see if the issue occurs on that as well.  If it does, then you will need to get the device serviced.

For repair, please note that the Apple Retail Store is not the only option, as we do also have many Apple Authorized Service Providers across the nation.
If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

  • Link takes over entire browser window

    I'm using the inline-navigator method on a portlet (.NET 5.0.3) and it works fine for the most part. For some reason though one of the links takes over the entire window when you click on it. What's weird is that this link is the exact same link used elsewhere, but this behavior only occurs when the link is wrapping an image. I added a JS alert to check if the JS script was even catching the DIV event, and it is. All links are gatewayed as well. Anyone experience this?

    Hi Gaurav,
    Thnx for your response. If I set the destination url property for the cancel button, which is in the center frame of the OA 3 - frame JSP page (OA tree bean page), without setting the target frame for it then response comes to the center frame only. The content of the left and top frame remain unchanged. But, my requirement is that the response should take control of entire browser window. So, somewhow either declaratively or programmatically I have to set the button bean property such that the browser knows the response for the particular form submission is meant for the entire window. But, I am not able to achieve it. Please help.
    Regards,
    Avinash

  • I just upgraded to 10...and now links and buttons black out when my cursor moves over them, and my entire window goes black whenever I scroll.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 10 and had to go back to 3.6 because 10 doesn't seem to work on my computer. I have a windows 7 pc. After upgrading, whenever I moved my cursor over a button or link, that link blanks out or a black bock appears over it. Additionally, whenever I try to scroll, the entire window goes black until I stop scrolling.

    Hi Nester88,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 OS, and I want to know how to disable the small window that appears when I hover my mouse over a tab, bookmark, etc.

    Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?

    I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

  • Is it possible to overlay graphics over a windows application in flash?

    Good day everyone,
    I was wondering if it is at all possible to overlay graphics from flash over a windows application. I know this can be done using some other languages and tools but since actionscript is the language I know best, I thought I would ask here to see if it was possible.
    What I am trying to do is make a button that will pop up and sit on top of a running windows program. I know that usually in a flash project there is a stage inside of a window and that's what you have to work with but I was thinking there could be a way to remove the window border and make the background invisible and only leave the graphic that I want to show and bring it up to the front of the screen.
    Also as a side question, is there a way to record frames from your flash project and export that as an mp4 or some other video file type?
    Any help with either of these question would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for any help you are willing to provide.

    Thanks for the answer. For the button I was able to create an Adobe Air project, go into the xml file and change systemChrome to none (<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>) and transparent to true (<transparent>true</transparent>). This made the entire window invisible except for any objects on the stage.
    Now as for the video, this isn't quite the solution I was looking for. My application will take some string from a file and translate them into actions to be displayed. You will be able to pick a file and watch the actions happen inside the flash player. But, if the user would like to keep this set of actions for later and turn it into video, I would like them to be able to do it straight from flash. I guess it would depend on how I set up the playback of the translated actions

  • Why does neither Grab nor Snapshot capture entire window?

    Grab application offers four capture options-selection, screen, window or timed capture-however none of these capture the entire window. They only capture what is shown within parameters of the current screen. Using Snapshot yields the same result. How can the entire window be captured, including the portion extending below the current screen?

    A window is a display port within the bounds of the screen. The application gets the displayed window bounds from the OS and renders it's content that should appear within those bounds. While a document may have content that would extend beyond the window bounds, the app "clips" that content to what the user can see within the window.

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

  • Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?

    I'm trying to assess features in Mavericks in comparison to Snow Leopard (the OS I'm most familiar with).  I usually read the Missing Manual for the new OSes, but haven't gotten to all areas yet - it's a big book!
    Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows? 
    I want to be able to see the calculator widget for example while I'm also working in a Bills template document in Word, or over my back account page while viewing in Safari.  Or look at words in Thesaurus while viewing a document I'm writing in Word, or even an email in Mail.  In OS 10.6 widgets on the dashboard float above the other windows, but I can see them both at the same time.  It looks like Dashboard is all by itself in Mavericks.  Is this the case and the only way to view widgets now, is by themselves in their own isolated environment?  Any work around?
    Thanks.

    You can assign a "hot corner" with System preferences > Mission Control > Hot corners to bring up your dashboard anytime you want quickly by moving the mouse to the corner.  Works really well.

  • Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

    Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
    My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
    I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
    For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
    If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

    In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

  • The entire window went off the screen to the right, can see icon at bottom but when I click on it it zips off to the right.

    I was working in Firefox and clicked on something which made the entire window flash off to the right, unable to be seen. The Firefox icon is available at the bottom but when I click it, it sends the screen off to the right. Click on icon again and it will take it from "off the screen" back into the icon. I tried restarting with no change. It only affects one user on the computer.

  • When opening Firefox, over 10 windows open, all of which have only a single "New Tab"

    I am running Firefox 5.0. Just recently, it started to open multiple (over 10) windows when I start it from the quick start area. All of the windows open with a single tab entitled "New Tab". Any tabs that I had open from my last Firefox session are ignored.
    I've used Firefox for many years.
    I use a desktop running Windows 7 SP1 Professional with an Intel i5 chip.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
