i am trying to write an external to open a new window similar to a gemwin. i basically copied the gemwincreatent file contents to my external. the problem is that once i opened the window it doesnt react to messages. the windowproc only gets called when i do it manually via updatewindow for example. it does not react to key presses or mouse events.
what could be the problem? i also tried to create my window with mfc but that crashes pd. when i debug the mfc i seems that there is no afxthread (whatever that could be).
another question: is it possible to draw directly on the patcher window? without tcl/tk?
