Hello,

I read up in another thread about this, and have encountered a problem about these commands: LoopSDK() && !dbEscapeKey()

Actually LoopSDK() was exactly what I was looking for, since the program crashes if I don't use this function and click on the close button of the window -> [X].

But, if u dont use the escape key to end the loop, then weird things happen to my Program Window. I wonder why the program crashes if I leave out the && !dbEscapeKey() part and then hit escape when the program runs?

What if I want my escapekey to be assigned to something different than having my program crashed?

greets,
Barnski.

Hi Stinky Stout,

Actually I should have mentioned that the program does not crash completely. But the window in which it is running does not react anymore!

I tried your code, when hitting escape the program continues, ok, but try to move your window for example! or switch task and back, your window will not be redrawn... (at least mine does not!)

I would like to find out if its just on my PC or if its a "bug" or an "unwanted" feature of LoopSDK().

greets,
Barnski.

Hmm, maybe this can help:

dbDisableEscapekey()

Yes, I forgot to mention you need dbDisableEscapeKey - see above post.

OK thanks, now it works fine for me.

There's just a tiny difference still; while holding down escape key, you cant move the window, but with any other key it is possible.. so disableEscapeKey doesnt do 100% disabling, as it seems.
However, this should never be a real concern I guess...
