Hello everybody,

I don't know if it is common to introduce oneself before writing on this
list, but before I'll ask my questions, I'd rather let you know who I
am:

René A. Krywult, 30yrs., Austrian male, living in Vienna. Software
developer for Austria's biggest financial institution, the Bank Austria
Creditanstalt AG. I've been a software developer by profession on IBM
Host (CICS; MVS) for the last 8 yrs. Started programming on the C64 at
age 10, continued to the Amiga at 13. Started programming in Modula-2 at
age 15. First contact with Blackbox through Blackbox 1.2, which I bought
when it was first released.

1. My eldest son, David (12yrs), wants to become a programmer to, and
he's mostly interested in 3D graphics. To be able to help him, I started
by looking for a 3D engine and writing the interface module. This was o
problem so far. But next I wanted to integrate the output in Blackbox.
The engine needs a window-handler for its output, and I want to have the
output on a Blackbox view. So I thought of a "Windows"-window without
borders and something like a "wrapper"-view for communication between
the Windows-messages and the Blackbox-messages.

Does anybody know how to open such a borderless window via the Blackbox
(if this is even possible in MS Windows)?
Does anybody know of a better way to do this?

2. When I use the OLE interface to Excel, I can only print the part of
the Excel-Table that is visible. If I produce an Excel-Table that is
bigger than one page, how can I print it (using Blackbox 1.3)

Thanks

Rene
