I've read in some tutorials that a trick to preserve a border (created with box function) in a window is to create a smaller sub window, using subwin function. But this trick fails when using panels. If I write in the window linked to a panel, its border is erased due to scroll (I need scroll so I can't disable it). When I write in its subwindow, border is preserved but sub window is not really linked to the panel so it ovewrites any overlapped panel. Any advice to manage bordered windows in panels?
If you make a derived/subwindow, it would be linked (since it shares memory). Make the panel's window have a box and use subwin() or derwin() to create a sub-window in that. You can use the set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() functions to keep track of the pointer to the sub-window, rather than storing that information separately.
