If I have the following code... Where I create a windowed screen...
Code: Select all
window = OpenWindow(#pb_any, 0,0, DesktopWidth(0), DesktopHeight(0), #PB_Window_BorderLess,"")
If window = 0
End
EndIf
screen = OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(), 0, 0, DesktopWidth(0), DesktopHeight(0), 1, 0, 0)
If screen = 0
End
EndIf
Why do I no longer get windows events using

The following code works fine for me.
Code: Select all
ExamineDesktops()
window = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0,0, DesktopWidth(0), DesktopHeight(0), #PB_Window_BorderLess,"")
If window = 0
End
EndIf
InitSprite()
screen = OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(), 0, 0, DesktopWidth(0), DesktopHeight(0), 1, 0, 0)
If screen = 0
End
EndIf
Repeat
event = WaitWindowEvent()
Debug event
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
I get a steady stream of events listed in debug. Alt-F4 results in a #PB_Event_Close_Window.
Do you get something different?
Out of curiosity, why don't you just use OpenScreen() ?

hrm... Yes I do but I also have InitKeyboard() and InitSprite() prior to that call.
I'll do a bit of experimenting here... Thanks for your test.

Ok... I'm not sure if it was the initkeyboard() stuff that was stopping it from working or the examinekeyboard... or... but anyway I am recieving events now.
Now I just need to figure out how to interpret the keyboard events... Which seem to be 256,257,258... But what key? That's the question.

Kanati,
You might find this useful:
viewtopic.php?t=12352
WaitWindowEvent() does intercept some events in some circumstances, making them unavailable.
For a finer level of control with the events try using SetWindowCallback().
Theres useful api information in the beginners FAQ:
