Why does this work . .. 
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 270, 160, "TextGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    TextGadget(0, 10,  10, 250, 20, "TextGadget Standard (Left)")
    TextGadget(1, 10,  70, 250, 20, "TextGadget Center", #PB_Text_Center)
    TextGadget(2, 10,  40, 250, 20, "TextGadget Right", #PB_Text_Right)
    TextGadget(3, 10, 100, 250, 20, "TextGadget Border", #PB_Text_Border)
    TextGadget(4, 10, 130, 250, 20, "TextGadget Center + Border", #PB_Text_Center | #PB_Text_Border)
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
    Delay (5000)
  EndIf
And this only shows a blank window  (for 5 seconds) . . .. 
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 270, 160, "TextGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    TextGadget(0, 10,  10, 250, 20, "TextGadget Standard (Left)")
    TextGadget(1, 10,  70, 250, 20, "TextGadget Center", #PB_Text_Center)
    TextGadget(2, 10,  40, 250, 20, "TextGadget Right", #PB_Text_Right)
    TextGadget(3, 10, 100, 250, 20, "TextGadget Border", #PB_Text_Border)
    TextGadget(4, 10, 130, 250, 20, "TextGadget Center + Border", #PB_Text_Center | #PB_Text_Border)
    ;Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
    Delay (5000)
  EndIf
I don't see any references to checking for window events being required to display a textgadget.
Thanks.

Checking Events is required for all gadgets and windows, allways on all OS.

Re: Gadget setup question
On mine it displays the window with text gadgets for 5 seconds then ends as expected [Purebasic version 5.11 on WindowsXP(SP3)].
