In the desktop library the commands DesktopX and DesktopY are missing. You may ask, what are they used for? With more than one windows desktop you can place the 2nd... desktops anywhere around the 1st one.

By now I create a full-screen window on the 2nd desktop and open a windowed screen. But this is not a really good solution, cause you can't change screen size, depth and refresh rate... So I'm waiting for this. It is possible to open a screen on 2nd desktop with directx, but then you can't use alle ...

I don't mean about the debugger output, but about the error requester the polink errors, asm errors, unresolved externals... are shown. That's a plain text output you cannot copy but with screenshoot.

Could you add a copy button to the debugger error window please, so one can copy the error messages to clipboard for easy posting it.

@Berikco

Can you post the link to the old Visual Designer source again, please? I need the possibility for moving and sizing some gadgets with mouse by my own but have no idea how to start.

It's not another VD project

Ok, misunderstanding the german help. Sorry.

I want to open a screen on the 2nd desktop, while the main window is on the 1st desktop. For now I have two possibilities:

Open a window on the 2nd desktop, and open a windowed screen on this window. But than I can't change the screen size and depth...

Open a screen using DirectX-commands. But ...

Ok, now I understood. I thought the WaintWindowEvent() responds only on WindowEvents the directly occur to the window, not on CallBack-Events that don't (?) give an event at WaitWindow Event().

Thanks.

Sven

Of course? Maybe this is a normal behavior, but:

- why do I get no more TimeOuts when the window lost the focus?
- why does the TimerCallback only show the API-Timer-Events? wParam always is the timer-ID set with SetTimer_(), so the WaitWindowEvent()-TimeOut get lost somewhere.

So if one want to ...

Maybe you can tell if this is a bug or not:

;WaitWindowEvent gives no longer #PB_Event_TimeOut if an API-Timer is running
;with smaller timer value than WaitWindowEvent(TimeOut)
;and the window has lost the focus

;start and focus an other window (debugger...)

#wIDmain = 0
#tIDtimer = 0

#PB ...

While using this snippet:

#Main = 0
#MDIChild = 1
If OpenWindow(#Main, 0, 0, 400, 300, "MDIGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget)
If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(#Main)) And CreateMenu(#Main, WindowID(#Main))

I would suggest to have a #PB_Event_TimeOut-constant added to the events returned with WaitWindowEvent(TimeOut), so one can ask für this like the other events (now it is just Zero).

Thanks for the TimeOut, good idea.

Sven

Is it possible to have a #DesktopNumber on OpenScreen() so I can use the infos got with ExamineDesktops() and open a screen on a second (third...) desktop?

Sven

Sorry if this was ask before: Is it possible to have a #PB_Button_Toggle-Flag with ButtonImageGadget()?


Flags = #PB_Button_Toggle
ButtonImageGadget(#Gadget, x, y, Width, Height, ImageID[, Flags])


To update the Image, I would suggest a function


SetGadgetImage(#Gadget, ImageID ...
