_RESIZE question

[TerryRitchie]

When exactly is _RESIZE supposed to detect that a screen has resized?

What I thought is that _RESIZE will change to -1 (TRUE) when the borders are resized manually. However, the SCREEN statement is triggering a _RESIZE as well, but it's not consistent. (see code below)

Having SCREEN trigger a resize makes some sense I suppose, but without consistency it's rather difficult to program for.

Is _RESIZE supposed to be going -1 when the SCREEN statement is used? In my opinion it would be better if it didn't.

Code: (Select All)

$RESIZE:ON



PRINT _RESIZE ' no resize event triggered for SCREEN 0



SLEEP ' REM in front of this line has no effect on SCREEN _NEWIMAGE triggering a resize event



SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)



PRINT _RESIZE ' resize event triggered



SLEEP ' REM this line and the SCREEN statement below will not trigger a _RESIZE event



SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32)



PRINT _RESIZE ' resize only triggered if sleep statement above not REM'ed
