Is there a way to give your app. a name in Blitzmax?
In Blitzbasic you could use the AppTitle command...

Also, is there a way to give your program more control, in other words if i let my program run awile it gets shut down by screen savers etc. And then is split into two tasks on the task bar at the bottom of my screen. The name of my program appears in one, and 'Blitz GL Application' shows up in the other. When it minimizes why does it split into those two things? Am i not doing some thing right? My BlitzBasic apps run forever uneffected by system stuff (screen savers etc.) how do i do this with BlitzMax?

Apptitle = "Whatever" 'Before Graphics()

Are you compiling your program in Gui mode?

MAybe you have to disable the screensaver. PErhaps Max is more system friendly and doesn't interfere with other things you have opted for your computer to do.

At the time i used 'apptitle' blitzmax may have been in gui mode, and i never tried it again. I guess i will try it again...

Maybe you need to update your copy of BlitzMAX?

Maybe you need to update your copy of BlitzMAX using syncmods (choose "Synchronize Modules..." from the "Program" menu in the regular BlitzMAX IDE)? :o>

BTW, what is Windows SO?


orgos(Posted 2005) [#11]
I have Windows 2000, and Windows 2000 family server, in both system the same error appear.

If I need to update mi copy of BMax, what is the function of UPDATE Packs?.


orgos(Posted 2005) [#12]
The problem has gone when I use the syncmods on BMax IDE, but in this case the UPDATE 1.10 have a bug, or the AppTitle has no include in 1.10 update.

Chugs40(Posted 2005) [#15]
I downloaded the update. I rebuilt the mods. (am i supposed to do that?) and sychronized them. Whats the usage for 'apptitle'?
Is it supposed to be like a regular keyword or command?

AppTitle$ is a global variable...
Print AppTitle
AppTitle = "FRED"

Here's another question. Where and how can i put a couple of my games to let people check them out.
I looked around on this entire site and don't know where to submit a zip file. I have several Bbasic apps and 1 Bmax app to submit. or do I just upload source code somewhere?
