I haven't found many C sources for Atari (which have a GUI part) around, other than Peter P.
If it's convenient for you, I'll leave you a source code written in Lattice C that I wrote at the beginning of last year. Maybe you find something interesting that you can adapt to your work (I see you are struggling with how to make an object child of a particular window). There is also the program already compiled.
Thanks. Any examples are normally useful at some point. I am clueless with C-code though. My GUI is in HISOFT BASIC and the CPU related routines are done in assembly.

Been fighting with this error for the past couple of hours :roll:

Turns out my antivirus suddenly decided to not allow steem to write files to my hard drive :pullhair: :cussing: :cussing:
Even more annoying as it is not even logged in the log files :roll:

It seems the height of the box which just says TEST is 8px in medium resolution, and 16px in MiNT.
So a quick hack up to use that box as the reference size...

I would think because of the 3D effect that it is skewing the sizes slightly in MiNT.

What a faff!
So make the box 3px smaller and move it down 1px to get it to behave in XaAES :roll:
Code: Select all
IF GET_MINT% = 1 THEN
'if MINT then make the box 2 px smaller and move it down 1px also..what a bloody faff!
JUNK=JUNK-6

Now the comparison bars are the same size as the text in both environments :thumbup:

Next up - to fix the ABOUT box.

Ah well! I'm happy that even in HIsoft Basic you have to resize each object to fit them on windows with different resolutions :-) I thought that with only C language there were these problems. But does that HiSoft BAsic have a compiler? I've never used it

I think it is really just a "limit" of the operating system.
Indeed it has a compiler otherwise would not be able to create PRG files :)

Started the cookie list and basically done. Though I now think I should have not put the author information in as text alone ends up being over 50K :roll:

Anyway, will remove it all.
The current size was 148K with "manufacture" in the text and now 140K. Oh well. :roll:
There are a couple of oddball characters which are not translating well from HTML either.

Not sure if they are the proper characters or not. So will just disable those lines for now.
Anyway. Now the cookie list is:

The next problem is processing even more AES redraw messages when there are 2 windows open :roll:
Even though the window IDs are different the redraw routine is still somehow managing to get confused as it does not update the main GB7 window correctly.
The square box on the left does not process any messages whatsoever at the moment.

So now not sure where the redraw events are going wonky. Though I guess there is no real need to keep the main window open while displaying the second window, which will become the "INFO BOX" window anyway.
