RE: poke4 won't accept my 32bit values
So as to clarify..
I am still using WinMain, but how it is supposed to work..
WinMain takes the Init, Main and Exit routines as handles..
With My Lib, I have split WinMain, into the 3 seperate components..
WinMain is Initialized, in the users Init code, Then the message loop is
called through the users Main code... and there is no Exit components
for WinMain, they are already internal..
The problem lies, where I split the message loop from the WinMain code..
For all practical purposes, this works OK, only when I try to pass a
32bit value to my seperated version do I run into problems..
It's difficult to explain, you really just need to see my examples to
understand..
FYI: the range I am using is #00000000 - #FFFFFFFF . 32bit color values
I think, it's something along the lines of what you're saying.. I
believe the values are being cropped to 8bit integer values.. Thus
returning an error saying the value must be a 32bit integer.
