WinDeactivate Function (ROM Call 0xD)

wingraph.h

void WinDeactivate (WINDOW *w);

Deactivates a window.

WinDeactivate deactivates a window pointed to by w. In fact, it only changes its border to the single-line border, without giving a focus to any other window. It is really only needed if an application has multiple windows. The purpose is to provide a visual clue to the user that a particular window has lost the current focus and that another window (which will be activated with WinActivate) has received the focus. When WinActivate is called, the window with the current focus (the last one to do an activating) is automatically deactivated with WinDeactivate and so it is not necessary to explicitly call WinDeactivate.
