BlueGUI shows some problems when using a scrollbar gadget in the main window (turned into a gadget). The program freezes when I try to set the sliders positions.


I've searched a bit and learned that when those commands are used, the loop enters a so called 'modal loop' and freezes the app.

I've tried to find some information on how to counter the effect but I had no success. I know it is possible I've seen apps use them (like mapscape). Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply. I've updated to your version of BG but I still have the same problems.

Whenever I run this, my program freezes partially.

Specifically the last command (setscrollbarposition).

For some strange reason I can still move my camera but all other interface elements are non responsive (even the x button to close the window).

Yes, your example works... hmmm, weird. I will try to figure out what's going on.

Edit: Moved the part of the code in my own app. and it works. Though, still going to figure out why, but my problem is solved.

Thanks Humanoid!
