Problem with alt+tab

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Userlibs/Problem with alt+tab

Hi there, is it possible via userlib to detect if an app is being used? currently if you use millisecs for your timing, when you alt tab out, the timing is screwed up dramatically when you restore. What can be done to fix this? I would like to pause the game when it's tabbed out automatically - as applications sometimes will grab focus and minimise Blitz3D.

Have a look at soja's BLESS userlib, it might be possible using that, don't know for certain though ;) http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=34205

Didn't you already post this somewhere else?

no I didn't - why don't you READ the difference? case in point, you called tokamak "tomahawk" so learn to READ what people type before opening your GOB. Stop following me around and moaning at my posts. ie. this is a problem with alt+tab being discussed, the other post is a request for a possible userlib. And the bug is in debug mode.......... do you understand?
