I apologise that this is in the wrong category, I could not find one that fit the subject.
I have found several bugs in the Small Basic Graphics Window handling, such as unintended application termination and resizing errors while hidden. Here is some code including most of them:
GraphicsWindow.Hide()
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Showing GW","Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.Show()
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Size: "+GraphicsWindow.Width+"*"+GraphicsWindow.Height,"Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Hiding GW","Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.Hide()
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Size: "+GraphicsWindow.Width+"*"+GraphicsWindow.Height,"Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Resizing GW to 800*600","Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.Width=800
GraphicsWindow.Height=600
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Size: "+GraphicsWindow.Width+"*"+GraphicsWindow.Height,"Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Showing GW","Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.Show()
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Size: "+GraphicsWindow.Width+"*"+GraphicsWindow.Height,"Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Resizing GW to current size","Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.Width=GraphicsWindow.Width
GraphicsWindow.Height=GraphicsWindow.Height
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Size: "+GraphicsWindow.Width+"*"+GraphicsWindow.Height,"Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Resizing GW to 800*600","Debugger")
GraphicsWindow.Width=800
GraphicsWindow.Height=600
GraphicsWindow.ShowMessage("Size: "+GraphicsWindow.Width+"*"+GraphicsWindow.Height,"Debugger")
On a Windows 7 machine there are the following bugs, which either seem not to apply in Windows 8.1 or do not appear with this code:
- When the Enter key is pressed on a GW message without the GW showing, the program ends, whereas when the button is clicked, the program continues as expected.
- When the GW is hidden, it does not resize properly in certain scenarios and the Height and Width properties stop returning meaningful values if set to a value.
These errors can cause unwanted behaviour and could well break a program. Could somebody verify these please.
