Dave L, thanks for the help with taskDA, by using my own eventrec it worked
great.
The problem with the message is that type 3 was being used by the finder
also(i think). The path of what ever windows were opened on the desktop
was in message 3 after you came back from an application. I was storing
the color palette for the new background in message 3 so the finder was
clobbering it. I moved it to another number and it works fine. My ques
tion is does a list of message types that are being used exist and if so
where?
The next question I have is about SFStatus() under 5.0 I'm writing this nda
under TML Pascal II, and using resources. I want to use Standard file, so
i do this
if not(sfstatus) then begin
stuff to load and start stard files
flag = true
end
standard file calls
if flag then begin
stuff to shutdown and unload stard files
end
the problem is that sfstatus never returns false. From the finder, when I
try this, i get error $0002 (tool fcn not found) because standard file is not
started. From TML, which starts sf, it works fine. Can anyone out there
reproduce this? Is it a problem with tml pascal II or with sf?
The last problem is easy to describe, but I can't fingure it out. With my
nda installed, the seconde time you try and launce a P8 application, it
crashes into monitor. For example, launch shrinkit, quit, then launch
shrinkit again. It then crashes into the monitor. You can run other p16 or
gs/os apps in between and it will still crash the second time. I know this
isn't a lot of info, but i can't see anything right off. I don't start any
tools except resource manager. I do a getcurresource,setresourceapp on entry
and exit from all my routines, dispose all in the shutdown. I just can't see
what I doing wrong.
The last thing is that if and when this ever works completely, I'll post it.
However, it does have a resource fork. How can I squeeze and texify it for
posting to comp.binaries.apple2?
Any and all help GREATLY appreceiated!
