Good day to all.

I keep looking for a solution but nothing so far is working, I'm running an example from the Hands On DBPro book in Windows 10 with DBPro Binary 120216 and when running TEXT command the CLI flashes text on-screen. Is there an fix for this or is DBPro incompatible with Win10?


Ink RGB(255,255,0),RGB(255,0,0)
Set Text Opaque
Print "Hello World"
Sync
Wait Key
End

just add the line :

sync on : sync rate 30: sync

to the top of your program.

works fine on mine and I'm running windows 10.

Thank you for the response. I tried that and it did something different. Now the screen is blank, but if I move the CLI around with the mouse I can see what was typed but it blinks while moving. But if I do the following code below it works but of course the Wait Key doesn't work I have to press escape. Not sure what else is going on. I'm on a laptop with extended monitor refresh rate is 60 for both. Could it be a directx issue?

sync on
sync rate 30
do
sync
Ink RGB(255,255,0),RGB(255,0,0)
Set Text Opaque
Print "Hello World"
Wait Key
loop
End

Nope it's not directx , it's your code.

You don't put a wait key in a do loop and sync needs to go before loop.

So it's sync on : sync 30 : sync

Print etc

Sync
Wait key
End

Or

Do

Sync
Loop

so my code:

sync on : sync rate 30 : sync

Ink RGB(255,255,0),RGB(255,0,0)
Set Text Opaque
Print "Hello World"
sync
Wait Key

End



OR

my code using do ... loop

sync on : sync rate 30 : sync

Ink RGB(255,255,0),RGB(255,0,0)
Set Text Opaque
do
cls
Print "Hello World"
sync
loop

Thank you. I followed the first example and it works as you said. I changed my other tutorial projects to match and they also work. I'll continue with my studies.
