> Windows is a multi-tasking operating system, so there is always multi-tasking going on in any program running on Windows.
<grins back> Yes, ok, but I meant I'm not running methods of my own concurrently! E.g. there's no "reply" in my prog! > Yes. What version of the beta are you using? I'm been refreshing the beta builds about once a month. The latest is from around the end of February / first of March. If you are using the first version I put up, then you definitely need to get the latest. I downloaded on 27th Feb, and the latest on sourceforge now, was dated 26th. The file name "switch_ooDialog420_410-4.2.0.6800-x86_32.exe" I'm using matches sourceforge, so I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest. > If you have the latest version, then please read the section in the docs on coding event handlers. 5.7.1 in particular. Also look at 5.7 and 2.2.4. Done. Phew. I learned REXX in about 1983 on the VM operating system and became a VM and REXX bigot way back then. Object orientation is something I'm learning long after giving up writing REXX as part of my job. I understand most of those sections pretty well, but I need to "play" to get a proper handle on things. I had already read some of those sections. > It's hard for me to tell exactly where the problem is here. Is it at all possible for you to send me the complete program so I can look into this? Just mail it to me at my gmail address miesfeld at gmail.com. Yes - no problem, but I'll understand if you give up before getting very far 'cos I suspect I don't do everything the way I should and therefore readability may not be great. I'm writing this email on a laptop which refuses to send email via a tethered iPhone so you'll probably get this way after 9pm UK time, and it'll be tomorrow before I write some instructions on setting up the program to run (it's a work in progress and has been for eons, and it requires a little setup. If we're lucky, you may get away with simply creating a directory for it to use). > Either or both. <grin> Suspected as much ;-) > Try the latest version of the beta if you have the first version, and let me know. If you already have the latest version, try making the pupils attribute unguarded and let me know if that fixes the problem. It did! Or at least making it AND the "pupil" attribute (array) unguarded did. I just don't understand why! > Otherwise, the easiest way for me to see where the problem is would be to send me your program. I'll send it anyway, as you may be able to see WHY I needed to make the attributes unguarded. You can marvel at my ineptitude ;-) Certainly some of the code was written long before I had a real handle on all the object stuff (which I still don't). Please don't spend hours debugging my code - not because I don't want help, but more because I'd be embarrassed to take your time up. If it helps to unearth potential ooDialog problems, feel free to bash away at my code. You'll be able to see the bits I've converted to pixels after the last time we spoke, and how the main screen resizes nicely now thanks to your pointers.
