Is there a way to run a graphics window within a window created by MaxGUI... OR... to use the MaxGui gadgets (button/textfield/etc) within a graphics window? I didn't see anything like this in the docs.

You need to CreateCanvas() then call CanvasGraphics() to get a TGraphics object to that canvas, then you can SetGraphics().

Hope that helps

Local MainWindow:TGadget
Local MainCanvas:TGadget

MainWindow = CreateWindow("MyWindow",100,100,800,600,0,WINDOW_TITLEBAR|WINDOW_MENU|WINDOW_STATUS)
MainCanvas = CreateCanvas(0,0,800,600,MainWindow)


While WaitEvent()

		Select EventID()				
			Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
				FreeGadget MainCanvas
				End
		End Select
