Hey, I've got a question about Blitz3D that I was hoping
someone could help me with.

I have created a nifty little music program that I like to listen to
while coding. I just minimize the program, and when I want to
listen to a new track I Restore it and select the track.

Whenever I test and then exit whatever program I'm coding
though, when I unminimize my music program to select a new
track, the whole screen of the music program is BLANK!

How would I refresh it to show all the text and stuff that it
should be showing?

Can't, really.

Blitz3D doesn't retain its graphics when its in a minimized state. Its always done it.

I'd try Windows Mediaplayer instead.

Use AIMP2, It's free and better than Winamp

if its just 2D commands you're using, you could try the bufferdirty() function, which was added in 198 or 99. if it doesnt help you should test every frame with graphicslost() and reload everything from scratch.

Ok.

Thanks guys. I didn't think that there was much I could do about, but
I'll try Ojays suggestion. It doesn't really matter all that much, but it
is just a minor annoyance.
