Automatic redraw of Windowed Screen

[GPI]

Code: Select all

InitSprite()

If OpenWindow(1,0,0,800,600,#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"Test")
  If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(),0,0,800,600,#False,0,0)
    ClearScreen(255,255,255)
    FlipBuffers()
    MessageRequester("Test","test")
  EndIf
EndIf

Move the Message-Requester-Window: You will earse the WindowedScreen with the default window background color.
It would be nice, when PB automatic redraw the windowed-Screen (it exist in one of the two buffers, so it should be no problem).

Maybe optional with (for possible Speed-Problems)

WindowedScreenRedraw(Flag)

You can add a section of code in your event handler like this (it is what I currently do):

Code: Select all

    ev.l = WaitWindowEvent()
    Select ev
        Case #PB_Event_Repaint
            FlipBuffers() : FlipBuffers()
    EndSelect

First: A very bad workaround, because the wrong Buffer can flash for milliseconds on screen. and second: Don't work, because the main-program is "catched" by the messageRequester().
