Re: Popup windows

["Ian King" <king eiffel com>]

I want to create a window with no decorations, that allows widgets inside it
to behave as they do with a normal top level window.

Can I create a top level window that

1) Has no decorations and only shows the client area.
2) Cannot be moved or resized by the user (I guess this is done by changing
the window policy).

I need this for things such as a code autocomplete window that pops up when
you enter a keyboard accelerator and this brings up a list of possibilities
for you to choose from.

Thanks for your time.
