Hi I''ve got a problem with program flow My program goes through a process that keeps watch of the timer and keeps page flipping each frame I''ve got { check keys // this is somewhat out of place if (time == right) UpdateFrame } UpdateFrame { PaintScreen if (Menu) PaintMenu get mouseinfo process_page(mouseinfo) } process_page(mouseinfo) { // this moves process control over to the MenuFunction if (have Menulist on screen) DoMenuFunction(); return; LoopThruActors { Actor-Check out my web-site

If you''re talking about the MessageBox api call, you have to acknowledge the message before you can continue processing your screen. Otherwise the best thing to do would be to draw your own message and when the user clicks the mouse go through your list of objects to see which one has been hit and act accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Ya, I''ve decided that the best way to do what I want is
to set up a MessageBox Object
Besides initializing the size, message, Yes/No buttons etc. I''ve decided to store the pointer to a ScreenPaint() function in the object.

so in the main Process

process_page(mouseinfo)
{
// this moves process control over to the MenuFunction
if (have Menulist on screen) DoMenuFunction(); return;
LoopThruActors
{ Actor-
From mousinfo findAreaonScreen
Process Screen + Mouse interactions //clicking and the rest
{
case AREA: OnArea()
pMessageBox = New MessageBox(initvalues)
int nResult = pMessageBox->Process()
}

And in pMessageBox->Process()
int MessageBox:rocess()
{
GetMousInfo(MouseInfo);
while (TestMessage(MouseInfo) != YESorNOorCANCEL)
{
PaintScreen(); // making sure I don''t do process_map or I''m endlessly hooped
GetMousInfo(MouseInfo);
}


Thanks for letting me talk it out
