Hi, does DBPro handle the Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Esc issue correctly?
It seems that the demo do not handle it.

Thanks.

Apparently this is something to do with DirectX. You need to (somehow) trap alt-tabbing and reload in all the objects and textures.

I'm pretty sure TAToad/TCA knows about this ...

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.

It has nothing to do with DirectX but with the OS.
As the help file states it uses the "screensaver-mode" method, which prevents Windows 98 and ME to react on those key presses. But NOT NT-based systems (2K/XP).
It would be possible to catch this in a DLL, though- if someone is keen to do it.

I awoke in a fever. The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat.
