PureBasic Not Responding to KeyBoard or Mouse

Post by swhite »

Hi

I am using PB 4.51 and Windows 7 and I often have situations where PB is visible on the screen but it does not respond to Keystrokes or Mouse clicks. The only thing I can do is use the task Manager to terminate the process. This sometimes happens after compiling and sometimes after debugging. I also experience times when it ignores break points. The only way to restore functionality is to terminate PB and re-load it? Does anyone else have this happen?

Thanks
Simon

Some resident program is stealing the focus from your PB windows.
The caret is there but no input goes into your working area. This happens
very few times with me also with input bars. Usually I can find a resident
program running in the background, terminate it and focus comes back.

There is a difference between knowing the code and writing the code.
May the code be strong in your projects.
