PB v6.30b6 arm64 Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 13, Wayland/labwc)
If you use ‘WaitWindowEvent’ without parentheses, there is no syntax error and the program cannot be closed. Other events are also not processed.
I don't know if this is a PB error or just a user error.
Peter
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 300, 200, "Test")
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
;Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Yes, normal, because WaitWindowEvent is a var.
WaitWindowEvent = 0

Thanks, and I thought EnableExplicit wasn't necessary for such a simple example. It's a bit embarrassing.

I never use EnableExplicit, make me crazy
The error is very comun, I did many times, dont worry.
I prefer use
ev= WaitWindowEvent(1) because i got control over all the main loop.
Happy new year!!! Hip!

I don't like it, but also can't live without it...

WaitWindowEvent() is completely sufficient. You can (must) only specify a timeout if you want to do something outside the events in the Main Event Loop.
But there is AddWindowTimer ...
With Timeout, the event loop runs pointlessly.
