The same situation with the v1076!!!

I use just example from AppGameKit for VS2008 named - "032 Input - TextInput" - fresh downloaded and setted up.
All I see it's just blinking vertical symbol and I can't input anything! Nothing shows in the input box!

I use Windows 7 & Windows 8

The example projects are NOT up to date with the correct core AppGameKit files.

Try taking the main.h/.cpp files from that project, rename them to template.h/.cpp and put them in a new project created from the appropriate vanilla template from the AppGameKit Wiki Templates page.

I assume that you have completely separate directories for your v1088 and v1076 AppGameKit setups.

I just tested that and it worked fine.

The problem is that the example Tier 2 projects are way to far out of date.

The Zoq2, in your posted issue, your problem is not necessarily the same. Alex_Peres's problem is because he was working with the example projects and they just don't work now (and this is known).

I've tryed to use your Template "template_vs10_v1088.zip" on VS2010, and EditBox doesn't work at all! StartInputBox works only with non-ascII symbols! If I put english letters or digits - "Input" just stuck!!!

And EditBox even with random size and position!


But your Template for 1076 version everything works fine!!!
Any ideas?

I have just posted the bug in the google list about the v1088 EditBox issue.

The sample program you mentioned uses TextInput, which is a different mechanism and not used with EditBox.

And I just tested the code from the sample you mentioned in both v1076 and v1088 (using the vanilla templates) and it works fine in v1076, but not in v1088.

So, this is another bug! And I will report it as well.

Thank you Ancient Lady!

And I also forgot to say, that Template for 1076 & VS2010 works very well! And Template for v1088 & VS2010 works only with "Release" setting, not for Debug!

If the project you want to work on doesn't need the 3D stuff, start doing it in v1076. Then, when v108 is fixed, you should only need to copy your code and media files to a new project (there are files in each project that are specific to each AppGameKit version) and it should work.

I thought I updated the v1088 Windows template to fix that.

If you look at the link input for the Release and Debug configurations, you might see that the Debug one is not the same. Simply copy the Release string to the Debug string.

Like I said, I thought I fixed that upload. But I apparently hadn't. I just downloaded it and checked. I had fixed the 'tweaked' one. I have just uploaded the proper, fixed vanilla one to the page.

My apologies for the mistake.

One more question, when program is stoped by the Break Point(DEBUG mode) and I change something in program - the changes are not applied after run(continue).
Please tell me, what can I do?

I don't use the debugger, so I'm not sure. But, I don't think changes made to the code while in debugging mode are applied to the current session. The debugging session uses specially built files with debug information that applies to the code as of the last compilation. If you change code, then it doesn't align with those files anymore (until you recompile).

Okay. Like I said, I haven't used it and so didn't know.

What are you changing during the break? Code or a variable value?

Okay. I don't know. Are you using VS2010 Express?

I just tried to change a line of code in the vanilla v1088 template (adding to the print statement) at a break and then restart. It gave me the warning "This source file has changed. It no longer matches the version of the file used to build the application being debugged." And it did not change the display. (This is what I would expect.)

But I was able to change a watched variable and have that effect show up.

No! You just able to see the variables! You can't change them to take effect!
But in VS2008 - you can do anything you want!!! And it seams like you don't even need to use VS2010 library of AppGameKit, you can just put VS2008 libs even in Visual Studio 2012! And everything will be the same! Same result - you'll be able to see your variables!
And even you're must not use DEBUG library! Just put everywere Release libs from 2008 directory of AppGameKit!

Why use VS2010 libs???

Let's try again.

What version of Visual Studio are you using? I am using VS2010 Express (and therefore the VS2010 AppGameKit libraries).

I was able to change a watched variable during a break and restart and the program reacted to the changed variable's new value. I did not change the code, just the actual value. So that works fine in VS2010.

The reason to use the correct AppGameKit libraries for the version of Visual Studio you use is that there are significant differences in some of the core Visual Studio stuff and how the resulting AppGameKit libraries are built.

And the Debug libraries are specifically built (regardless of VS version) so that they interact properly when you are in Debug mode.

I used VS2008 but VS2010 is better. So I desided to move on it!

And everything is fine now!!! I just changed linker option to "/INCREMENTAL" and it's just perfect!!! If you didn't use it before - try! You'll be really excited! Save your time!

Thank you for all your help, Ancient Lady!

Always glad to help, even if I didn't do much.

My current app has 34 .cpp files (including template.cpp). The tricky part in debugging it is that I use a lot of vectors and lots of dynamic instantiations. It makes it hard to figure out where you need to break to find out why something doesn't work.

But, I'll remember that it is an option to try next time a bug pops up.

I always have 'incremental' off, but now I see where it might be beneficial to have it on.
