Suspend event not firing in NG (Windows)

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax NG/Suspend event not firing in NG (Windows)

I've tried both polled events and using the event queue. Neither one will catch a suspended program event. I cannot reproduce the error in vanilla BMX.

Using on Windows 10 (64 bit) using TDM-GCC 5.1.0 32 bit

Just to save a potential upcoming question:

are you using the blitzmax-system-modules (with their event handling) or the ones from the SDL-module ?
"Brl.System" would be the default one, while the second one is not.

This works for me :

SuperStrict

Framework brl.glmax2d
Import brl.standardio

Graphics 800, 600, 0

While Not KeyDown(key_escape)

	Cls

	If AppSuspended
		Print "Suspended!"
	End If	
	
	Flip

Wend

When the app is not active, the text is printed until the app is active again.

Thanks for the replies Brucey and Derron,

I tried your example and that works, and yes I'm using SDL (gl2sdlmax2d). When I switch to glmax2d suspend is caught in my app.

So, how should I use SDL then?

Thanks!

I've pushed an update for SDL.

Please let me know if it works okay or not for you.
