From a previously built PureBasic Open source, I debug it by opening PureBasicIDE.pbp project, then Compil/Run (F5).
If I drag'n drop a .pb source file into the new IDE in debug mode, I get this error:
It works fine if I open the same .pb file via Menu File Open

Code: Select all

[10:51:31] [ERROR] UserInterface.pb (Line: 2713)
[10:51:31] [ERROR] WindowEvent(): WindowEvent() and WaitWindowEvent() can not be called from a 'binded' event callback.

CallStack:
WindowsMisc.pb Line 482 - MainWindowCallback(5704844, 563, 2908595355768, 0)
WindowsMisc.pb Line 314 - FlushEvents()
UserInterface.pb Line 2713

Disabling Debugger in UserInterface.pb --> FlushEvents() seems to help here.

Code: Select all

Procedure FlushEvents()
  DisableDebugger
  While DispatchEvent(WindowEvent()) ; returns the eventid
    EventLoopCallback()
  Wend
  EnableDebugger
EndProcedure

But actually, it's ok for Release, but Debugger reports error

Also the good old Console Debugger allows to skip such errors.
Why can't the GUI debuggers continue program execution here.

Indeed, it's strange, it works with the Debugger disabled but not when enabled!
I'll have to try it, I've never used the good old console debugger until now.

Working on a 2015 prog using PB 5.45. This post likely saved me hours of debug time.
Thanks for the save.
