Dear folks, I'm new to this net (posting, I mean - I've read everything I could lay my eyes on in the net). I've been working/hacking/playing on an Amiga for 5 weeks now, developing software for a course this fall. One of the more basic things I'm doing is a simple proportional gadget, emulating a slider with a little IntuiString gadget below that prints out the current slider value. I have FOLLOWMOUSE set in the proportional gadget, and each time I get a MOUSEMOVE event, I update the IntuiString buffer and Refresh the gadget (of course, only if the value has changed). Unfortunately, after a few clicks and moves on the proportional gadget knob, or even fewer on the sizing gadget, the system hangs and I get me a GURU message. I've managed to isolate the problem - it hangs during a RefreshGadget call. Replacing the call by printf statements, or (as I'm doing now) a sequence of graphic Move and Text commands, works fine. I was just wondering if anybody else has had similar problems. I've compiled the source under both Manx and Lattice, and both die though it takes longer on the latter. I would really appreciate any feedback from the net. Thanks. --- Mun-Kew --- -- Mun-Kew Leong University of Toronto UUCP {ihnp4 utzoo decwrl uw-beaver}!utcsri!munkew CSNet munkew@toronto An Idiot Proof System is no match for a System Proof Idiot ... me!
