I am running through the great tutorials for MaxGUI that Assari made. I reached tutorial 8 and I encountered some strange behavior.

Here is the code:

SuperStrict

Import maxgui.drivers

Local MyWindow:TGadget=CreateWindow ("Listbox example",200,200,320,240) 
Local ListBox:TGadget=CreateListBox (10,10,200,100,MyWindow)



For Local i:Int=1000 To 1050
	AddGadgetItem Listbox,i
Next


Repeat	
	WaitEvent()
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
		Case EVENT_GADGETACTION
			SetStatusText MyWindow,"Item Selected="+SelectedGadgetItem(ListBox)
	EndSelect
	
Forever

It is supposed to set the window status to gadget item number, however that only happens if I double click an item instead of single clicking it. Do you have any idea why it happens and how to fix it?

The behavior was changed since the tutorials were written. EVENT_GADGETACTION was originally emitted when you clicked on an item. Now it will only fire on a double click. To detect a single click on an item, use EVENT_GADGETSELECT instead.

The behavior you are expecting is Event ID EVENT_GADGETSELECT which is documented in the CreateListBox help.
