make-message-window

Arguments: string-or-pixmap &key owner width height horizontal-margin vertical-margin background-color foreground-color border font

This function is typically called internally by a user call to the with-message-window macro. Refer to with-message-window for complete information and a description of all the arguments.

make-message-window is provided in case you would like to show and remove the message window at times other than just before and after a with-message-window body. Calling this function will create a message window in :shrunk  state and return it. You can then show the window whenever you like (typically by calling select-window), and remove it whenever you like (typically by calling shrink-window or (setf state)).
