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 everyone.


GUI setup 1
Font 7,4
GUI caption #1, "MAIN MENU:", 85, 15, LT, RGB(magenta)

CLS
GUI Page 1
Do:Loop


Result is:
GUI Page 1
Error: Invalid command.

MMBASIC 5.2, on E100.

Any ideas?
Manual says this should work, unless I am missing something very obvious.....

EDIT: It would appear that you DON'T specify the "GUI" part of this command, you just use PAGE 1 - I found that by accident while re-reading page 30 of the advanced manual, where they use a different syntax in the example.

Do we have an error in the manual that needs fixing? Edited by Grogster 2016-12-22

Never used the GUI PAGE commands so a guess.

The system defaults to PAGE 1 so GUI PAGE 1 does nothing
TRY GUI PAGE 2 which should give you a blank page then GUI PAGE 1 to go back to the start page.

I expect that GUI PAGE 1 while on PAGE 1 should be OK but switching pages is worth a try.

Good find, thanks Grogs.

Yes, the PAGE command should not be prefixed with GUI. I will fix the manual in the next release.

I've been playing with the pages feature - having dropped the "GUI" from the front of it, and it certainly is a nice feature to have. I can call these directly from the command-prompt for the purposes of testing/debugging - pretty cool.
