I have this problem with my Requester. I am using KS & WB 1.2,
rev 33.39, and the Lattice 3.02 compiler. I define the Requester, point to
a CANCEL and a OK gadget (which have REQGADGET and ENDGADGET flags). When I
call Request(&Requester), it appears correctly with the gadgets and borders,
but the gadgets don't click (no highlighting appears). So the requester never
goes away. Is there some trick not mentioned in the Intuition manual that I
should do? I did follow the recommended procedure: declare a Requester
structure, call InitRequester(), fill in the size, gadget pointer fields, etc.,
then call Request().

I just blew a week of debugging time trying to track down what appears to be a compiler bug in V3.03 of the Lattice compiler. I have a structure that contains a pointer to a Window structure. My code then does some computations based on the LeftEdge, TopEdge, Width, and Height of the window. I kept getting the wrong answers. The code looked something like this: if ( wind_desc->w_curx > (wind_desc->w_wind_ptr->Width - 4) ) { /* scroll line & set curx to LeftEdge */ } I finally gave up and took the computation out of the conditional: i.e. foo = wind_desc->w_wind_ptr->Width - 4; if (wind_sesc->w_curx > foo) { /* scroll line & set curx to LeftEdge */ } It then worked fine! Can someone at Commodore tell me if they are going to update the developers with new 3.10 (or later) compilers (even for a fee)? Do we need to contact Lattice individually? If we may get updated, when can I do it and what will it cost? Joe Mueller ...!nsc!nscpdc!joemu

You are using an out of date Workbench (the release version is 33.47), and a seriously out of date compiler. You should upgrade to 3.03 as soon as possible. (I don't know if your kickstart is up to date; you didn't give its number) I define the Requester, point to >a CANCEL and a OK gadget (which have REQGADGET and ENDGADGET flags). When I >call Request(&Requester), it appears correctly with the gadgets and borders, The call to Request should be Request(&Requester,window). If you are already doing that, the problem might be in your very early compiler. If neither of these is the problem, you should either mail or post a code fragment, because the rest of your description sounds ok. > Hobie Orris andy finkel -- andy finkel Commodore/Amiga {ihnp4|seismo|allegra}!cbmvax!andy or pyramid!amiga!andy Any expressed opinions are mine; but feel free to share.

The 3.02 compiler may be a pig, but I can do menus, gadgets, bobs, sprites, etc. It seems unlikely that the compiler would be responsible for this one problem, yet allow me to do all of these other things. I suspect that there is a crucial step undocumented in the Intuition book, like the one in the RMK I found: it tells you how to initialize your GelsInfo, and how to initialize your bob, move it around, etc. It never mentions that you should link the GelsInfo to your RastPort. I just figured that one out on my own... -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hobie Orris SoftQuad Inc., Toronto, Ont. {ihnp4 | decvax | ? }!utzoo!sq!hobie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lines: 27

I've never used a requester, but my suggestions include: RELVERIFY|ENDGADGET for Activation BOOLGADGET|REQGADGET for GadgetType and specify GADGETUP in your window's IDCMP flags The RELVERIFY causes a GADGETUP message to be sent when a gadget is released. The BOOLGADGET says the gadget changes state when clicked on. The IDCMP flag GADGETUP allows GADGETUP messages to be sent to your window. And if you want Highlighting when the gadgets are selected, you must specify the type of highlighting in the Gadget structure. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
