Hi,

I was just wondering if PB Linux only runs on x86 distributions or also on PPC ones?

Best regards,

the Requesters are NOT designed to work on a GFX-Screen. Therefore you have to write your own...... OR use OpenWindowedScreen () instead. In this case you can use all of the Requesters... :!: OR send the Screen into the background (like you manually do with ALT + TAB) and then call your requester ...

Ok thanks! This more or less does the trick

Ok, but it won't close the window, right? I could just "runprogram" calc.exe (example) and have it run on top of my window ...

If you can-t find your way as I suggest in the posted code , aybe you should try to use a regular window with an windowedscreen sinside ?

I coould do that, but will that do the trick? I mean, then the program's window will no longer close when starting an external application?

Ah I see, thanks.

I tried to run it but it gives an error. It is a bit like what I am doing I think. However, if I build in IsScreenActive() to check if the screen is opened, how will that help me?

I already tried ...

Hi,

My program is running on a screen (using OpenScreen). When I call OpenFileRequester I have some problems:

1. The mouse pointer is not showing
2. After I have selected a file (using keyboard), the filerequester closes but the program screen is not activated so my program 'hangs'...

Hi,

My program runs in screen mode, but I want to do the following; when a certain button is pressed, I would like the screen to fade a bit, and open a window in front of it with a text message in it. After a number of seconds or another event, the window should disappear and the screen should ...

Ok am back home but the code is like 1,000 lines (!)...

I know for sure now that the problem is that my program's screen is closed - the error occurs when flipbuffers() or startdrawing(screenoutput()) is started.

If you (or anyone) are willing to help, I can send you the source by email ...

But it seems that it is organized so that you may have an error when looping because the ScreenOutput() does no more exist after an event occurs.

This is exactly the case! The error message in the debug window show a null result when trying 'startdrawing'...

As for the code layout, thanks ...

hi ron,

do you have the source? If you have it, or could post a source containing the problem, maybe we can solve the problem.

Welcome to the boards, anyway :)
