RE: [ql-users] Changing DISP_SIZE under SMSQ/e

[Duncan Neithercut]

Hi, I think Rich Mellor is describing a problem with SMSQ/E that I have been aware of for some time ie since at least version 2.97. If the SBASIC windows are larger than the new display size set by another job SBASIC will hang or crash on the Qx0 and QPC2 will lock when an attempt is made to return to SBASIC. The cursor off screen does not accept input. Work arounds are to put SBASIC into a button when the new job is run - set up a hot key to buttonise SBASIC, make this a configurable item in the job and then get the job to put SBASIC into the button frame while it is running. Alternately the new job reads SBASIC's window sizes as part of its set up, stores them resizes SBASIC windows to suit itself then when it quits it resores the SBASIC windows after putting the display size back to what it was before.   Duncan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 December 2003 11:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] Changing DISP_SIZE under SMSQ/e In a message dated 08/12/2003 22:16:46 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Coming to think about it, Rich, I think that the cursor is shut off on the non SMSQ/E versions to protect against garbled image... Surely if that crept by mistake into the QPC version (and the cursor is not turned on before exiting) QPC should appear dead (no curson, no switching right?) Nope it doesn't do this on QPC - as I say, if you configure QWord to use the existing display resolution or SuperBASIC's windows are smaller than 640x480, you do not have a problem with switching to SuperBASIC.   -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services 35 Chantry Croft, Kinsley, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF9 5JH TEL: 01977 610509 Visit our website at: URL:http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk In need of adventure?
