Why does the close window with ID 1 when the close window with ID 0?
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 100, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
OpenWindow(1, 200, 200, 200, 200,"",#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget, WindowID(0))
AddWindowTimer(0, 123, 2500)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
If Event = #PB_Event_Timer And EventTimer() = 123
CloseWindow(0)
Debug IsWindow(0)
Debug IsWindow(1)
EndIf
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Because Window 1 is a child of Window 0.
When Window 0 is closed, all child objects are also closed.

By definition, a child window is one that is dependent on a parent window and is closed when the parent window closes.
Fred cannot write everything about computer programming in the PB help.

In PB doesn't have a cross-platform method to unbind a window from its parent window.
It is necessary that the window with ID 1 does not close.

If you want such a method, you can make a feature request for it.
But asking for a change of the current correct behaviour when a parent window closes doesn't make sense. And it's not a bug anyway.

SetParent_() ?
set the parent window for the child window before closing the main window

Solution:
A little trick to prevent several windows from the same programme from being displayed in the taskbar.
Code: Select all

This does not work.
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 100, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
OpenWindow(1, 200, 200, 200, 200,"",#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget, WindowID(0))
AddWindowTimer(0, 123, 2500)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
If Event = #PB_Event_Timer And EventTimer() = 123
;SetParent_(WindowID(1), 0)
SetParent_(WindowID(1), GetDesktopWindow_())
CloseWindow(0)
Debug IsWindow(0)
Debug IsWindow(1)
EndIf
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
