Problem with screensaver and lockscreen.

[True29]

Hello,
i use directx subsystem in my game.

now the problem is when the game is running and the screensaver starts or i lock my screen , window key+l then
return to my game the Gfx is frozen the other things sound/Control main loop runs well.

What is the normal way to solv this 2 Problems ?
I could go with opengl subsystem and solve this problems, but then there are 2 new problems with opengl
So Opengl is no solution for me.

Thanks.

try something like this (exception handling omitted):

Code: Select all

Procedure.i ASE_CheckLostDevice()
    ; handles a DX9 lost device event such as when user ALT + TABs
    ; ALL video resources must be recreated
    ; a Window is needed so we can listen for Windows Events
    ; returns: #True after a lost device event if user returns to program
    ;          -1 after a lost device event if user terminates program
    ;          #False otherwise
    
    Protected event.i, win.i
  
    If IsScreenActive() = #False
        
        CloseScreen()

        win = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 1, 1, 1, 1, Title$, #PB_Window_Minimize | #PB_Window_BorderLess)
        
        Repeat
            
            event = WaitWindowEvent(10) 
            
            If (event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow) And (EventWindow() = win)
                
                ProcedureReturn -1
            EndIf
            
        Until (event = #PB_Event_Repaint) And (EventWindow() = win)

        CloseWindow(win)
        
        OpenScreen(width, height, depth, Title$)
        
        ProcedureReturn #True
        
    EndIf
    
    ProcedureReturn #False
  
EndProcedure
