Can't close the compiled and run code window.

| Okay, I'm new to this, so bear with me. I've just bought and downloaded Blitz Plus and tried a few of the examples that came with the install. All seems fine except when I want to close the window of the source I just compiled and run. It just won't shut down!!! For example.. If I load the source for, say Aristoids, then Execute it...the game runs in a newly opened window. When I want to shut that window though, it just won't. Am I being dim, or wot? Surely, clicking the "X" close button should do just that? I'm running Blitz Plus on a P4 1.7Ghz, 512 mb and Windows XP. GeForce II gfx card. Any ideas, NE1? |

| You try pressing the escape key? Also, you might want to try and update your copy. I had buggy problems running the examples when i first bought blitzplus :) |
| ||
| Hiya, I only just downloaded the latest copy that same day. However, I think it's something to do with the source examples (games) as they seem to be quite old examples that stem from the OLD Blitz2d. I think the old source files should be removed from the new Blitz Plus package. Some of the other source examples (in the samples folder) worked fine and terminated properly. |
| ||
| Oh..er... yes, depressing the Escape key (and holding) does work too :) Thanks :) |

| With BlitzPlus I think you need to handle the closing of the window (or end the program) yourself when you receive a close window event message. I think that's how it works anyway, it's been a while since I used BlitzPlus. This is a good thing as it lets you save gadget input data, etc, before the window closes. |

| How do you receive/detect a window close event in Blitz-3d? |
| ||
| I'm afraid there's no close-event in Blitz3D. Blitz3D doesn't have any events, like BlitzPlus. The close-button (X) works the same way as the "End"-command (AFAIK). You don't have to write any code in Blitz3D to make the X-button work. Try this: Repeat Delay 1 Forever As you can see, there's no command (or event) which "scans" the close-button, but it works. |
| ||
| Sausage - you have to program the close window event manually. For example: Repeat If WaitEvent()=$803 Then Exit Forever +BlackD |

| How do you receive/detect a window close event in Blitz-3d? to disable close in B3D to detect close in B3D |
| ||
| @Perturbatio Nice example you provided. Is there more work-around examples for B3D to simulate BPlus like the one you supplied? |
| ||
| You can do quite a bit with the win32 API, but there are many things that are just plainly not possible in Blitz3D without lots of third party DLL's. |

| @Perturbatio Thanks for the link to the win32 API. I will study that closely |
