Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi All,

As I've found I can mix the two as long as I trap things correctly.

There's one key condition though, being that a mixed display MUST NOT contain any GUI objects that can popup the keypad or keyboard.

Thinking further, I'm wondering if a cFunction could run in the background & read Basic graphics that were overwritten by the popups & restore them when they are gone.

The other cFunction I think could possibly be useful would be say CLSB, to clear only Basic graphics from a screen.

With what I have at the moment, I can achieve this with:-

[Code]CLS
GUI SHOW ALL[/code]

So it's no biggie really; only one line of code. But I think the first idea might have it's merits.

As mentioned in my other thread, mixing the two types reduced the GUI objects from 37 to 5 in what I've been working on, with other significant advantages.

Considering the other things that haven't made it into this code yet, the 37 currently required could easily triple, one other plans are added.

Cheers

Phil.
