I just installed v1.30 of the MaxGUI module and compiled my apps. and now they are completely unusable. They run at a snails pace and I get odd anomolies like all the menus totally disappearing. If I revert back to MaxGUI.Win32MaxGUI they are all fine, but using MaxGUI.Drivers is impossible. What's the deal? Is it just me getting these issues? I'm on a WinXP machine.
Is MaxGUI v1.30 totally borked?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax GUI Programming/Is MaxGUI v1.30 totally borked? From what version did you upgrade to?
v1.28 to v1.30
I've got the menus working now with both MaxGUI.Win32MaxGUI and MaxGUI.Win32MaxGUIEx after installing the SVN version, but resizing a window still causes the app. to chugg. I've noticed someone else has already posted a bug report about that so hopefully it's being looked at. I guess I just didn't expect a simple version upgrade to brake half my existing code.

It might be that double-buffer thing that ked had trouble with recently...
I stopped using SVN update on MaxGUI once I got a stable release. That's one of the cons of SVN and, if my livelihood depended on it, I would never use SVN on a 'production' system.
If think it's probably the double-buffer thing as well.

Well that was my problem. The so called stable release, v1.30, doesn't work correctly on my machine. I didn't want to use SVN either, but as the stable version doesn't work I have no choice. It's not much of a hardship to maintain three versions of BlitzMax on my computer so I'm prepared to let it slide. I've just been getting irritated with MaxGUI in general. I guess that it breaking my app. without me changing a single line of code just pushed me over the edge and I needed to vent a little. Think I might switch to the wxMax thingy for my next app. anyway.
