WindowedScreen question

[Catdaddy]

So, the basic idea for this program is to open a borderless window to the dimensions of the current desktop. This is so I don't have to deal with changing resolutions with a full graphic screen. Then, at some point in the bigger program I would like to have a procedure that I could call that creates a WindowedScreen within the window that will bounce a sprite around the screen. Everything works fine except... while the sprite is moving around the screen, the mouse pointer continually spins without disappearing. Also, if I click a mouse button the program crashes. I'm not as familiar with windowed coding as I'd like to be, and the code is really messy, but if anyone could explain what I;m doing wrong I would be grateful. Thank you.

Code: Select all

ExamineDesktops()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()

Hi,
Your code is missing a window loop for Window_0.
You need to handle WindowEvent().
See the built-in help for OpenWindowedScreen() for an example:

Code: Select all

   ; It's very important to process all the events remaining in the queue at each frame

[infratec]

Code: Select all

  Repeat
    Repeat
      Event = WindowEvent()
    Until Event = 0
  
    ClearScreen(RGB(0, 0, 0))

You can also hide the cursor with ShowCursor_(0)

firace - In my haste I overlooked this part in the manual. Is it because the events pile up and eventually crash the program?

infratec - Worked like a charm.

AnC - That definitely helped. I'm used to a regular full graphic screen where the cursor automatically goes away.

Thank you to all for your help.

I may have spoken too soon. ShowCursor_(0) does not seem to work. I've tried ShowCursor_(-1), ShowCursor_(#FALSE). I've even tried SetCursor_(#NULL). Is it not possible to disable the mouse pointer in Windows?

What help me in my program is repeat the line:

Code: Select all

      ShowCursor_(0)
      ShowCursor_(0)

Is it not possible to disable the mouse pointer in Windows?

You can also switch to hardware mouse:

Code: Select all

ExamineDesktops()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()
InitMouse()

That worked. Thank you so much, miso.
