Hi,

The following line are supposed to display something as soon as
the window is moved :

Repeat
EVT_WIND.l = WaitWindowEvent()
If EVT_WIND = #PB_Event_MoveWindow
Gosub Display
EndIf
If EVT_WIND = #PB_Event_CloseWindow ; Bouton 'fermer'
Quit = 1
EndIf
Until Quit = 1
End

Nothing happens.... 'Display' Subroutine works fine (if I move
the gosub out of the If-EndIf.

Something I misunderstood ???

You will probably need to include something to handle the repaint event. This tells your program to redraw whatever you have in the window.

If EVT_WIND = #PB_Event_Repaint
Gosub Display
EndIf

Works fine now thanks but... well, I don't understand something
anyway :
I have replaced the #PB_Event_Repaint by #PB_Event_MoveWindow
again and set a "breakpoint" just before the 'Gosub' instruction.

Nothing happens when I drag the window everywhere on the screen !!!
Obviously it does not detect the move or "MoveWindow" means
something else (?)

I have the same here, but I have never used the MoveWindow event before so I am not sure if there is anything special you need to do, or if I done something wrong in the code.
