Windows

[Ric]

Hi guys/gals,
I have been trying to create a window to allow a secondary output using similar code to this

Code: Select all

      MODE 1
      INSTALL @lib$+"WINLIB5"
      window% = 0
      class$="One"
      text$="Succeeded"
      x%=10
      y%=10
      cx%=200
      cy%=200
      id%=1
      style%=0
      exst% =0
      window% = FN_createwindow(class$,text$,x%,y%,cx%,cy%,id%,style%,exst%)
      ON ERROR PRINT window% : PROCCloseWindow : END
      ON CLOSE PROCCloseWindow : QUIT
      REPEAT
      UNTIL FALSE
      END

      DEF PROCCloseWindow
      PROC_closewindow(window%)
      ENDPROC

Can anyone explain why it doesnt work, must be something simple as the code for creating the window is copied straight out of the manual.
Kind Regards

Probably because class$ is set to "One" which (as far as I know) is not the name of any window class; try something like "Edit" or "Static". There's a list of standard window classes here; you can define your own but I'm assuming you've not done that.

(User Interface would be a more appropriate place for this thread. Perhaps the forum's admin would move it out of Miscellaneous).

Now we are in the correct place, i have a poser.

Is it possible to remove a pop up menu once it has been created? So that it can be removed from the display window.

It's a long time since I've done any of this stuff, but I think RemoveMenu and DestroyMenu can be used with any menu. It's possible that you might need to redraw the menu bar afterwards to remove it visibly, but I'm not sure about that.

Thanks Richard
Sorry for the slow response, I have had tough things to deal with at work, like so many others.
