[5.21] WindowTimers break EventWindow() of Windows events

In the code below, we can see that the EventWindow() of Windows #WM_CHAR events becomes false when a Window Timer is created.
If you comment the line "AddWindowTimer(), it works OK
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 300, 200, "Main Window")
OpenWindow(1, 150, 150, 150, 150, "Child Window", 0, WindowID(0))
AddWindowTimer(0, 0, 100)
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #WM_CHAR
Debug Str(EventWindow()) + " - " + Str(EventwParam())
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Break
EndSelect
ForEver

I don't see #WM_CHAR as a PB-supported constant.
Please use a WindowCallback, if you want to use Windows-constants

Code: Select all
Procedure callback1(h,m,w,l)
If m=#WM_CHAR
Debug "0 -"+Str(w)
EndIf
ProcedureReturn #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
EndProcedure
Procedure callback2(h,m,w,l)
If m=#WM_CHAR
Debug "1 -"+Str(w)
EndIf
ProcedureReturn #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
EndProcedure
OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 300, 200, "Main Window")
OpenWindow(1, 150, 150, 150, 150, "Child Window", 0, WindowID(0))
SetWindowCallback(@callback1(),0)
SetWindowCallback(@callback2(),1)
AddWindowTimer(0, 0, 100)
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Break
EndSelect
ForEver
how about this?

Thanks for your replies. Previously (in the older versions of PB) the WindowCallBack was not able to retrieve all the Windows messages this is why i was continuing to treat them in the main loop, but it seems it is solved in last versions of PB.

1 August 2001 : Version 2.40
- Added: lot of new commands: EventLParam(), EventWParam(), ListIndex(), ListCount() and ChangeCurrentElement() ToolBarImageButton(), EventMouseButton(), UseDirectory()
So, using opportunity, why
this commands not documented at all? And some other are not connected to new or renamed one.

EventLParam(), EventWParam() = not supported, use a callback!
ListCount(), EventMouseButton(), UseDirectory() are very old functions, from before PB 4.xx! To many changes from versions
< PB 4.xx. The most code < PB4.xx code not compatible to actuell ones!
The rest is documented.

They're valid working commands, so they are supported.
Otherwise, why would they even exist and return a value?

No, not supported. Merely tolerated (for now). This is what Fred has to say about EventWParam() and EventLParam():

When I click this link, I come to a page like this:
.
.
It shows page 1 of 1, with 11 posts, with no way to navigate to the
other 8 pages to verify what you're quoting. Obviously a forum bug.
BTW, I believe you; I'm just pointing out the bug.

Not a forum bug, I specified &start=9 so none of the previous posts show and there's only one page. If you take the &start=9 off the end of the link you'll get the whole topic. And then you'll discover that it was you who first brought it up in a code snippet. Then Sparkie weighed in with a question about the validity of the two commands and then Fred's response.

Okay, now I see all the posts. And yes, I used those commands
because they're supported for then (and still now).
Only when
they're actually removed they will be unsupported.

Ok, well not to put too fine a point on it, but to me 'supported' means that if someone posted a bug report about one of those commands not working right, Fred would fix it. Imho he wouldn't and so I consider it unsupported. But like I say it's really too fine a point and we all understand pretty much how those commands stand, it's just semantics. Nobody's arguing about it and if my take is wrong I don't really care
It's all good.

In fact, the use of a WindowCallback() does not solve my problem.
Unlike in the main loop, if a gadget of the window has the focus, the #WM_CHAR message is not anymore received.
That was the reason why i didn't use a WindowCallBack().

Maybe AddKeyBoardShortCut() is your solution ?
