hi...

I develop a game in win32 , and convert it to windows mobile professional 6.0 suitable cab file .

in my game i want to hit some sprites .so on windows it works fine for click issue .

But in emulator to hit sprites , i use mouse clicks . while i am clicking at bottom of emulator screen , the background emulator menu options (like close button,time button ,menu button ..etc) are activating and my game screen and game stops running.

i don't know why this happens. though my game occupies full screen of emulator why the emulator buttons are activating on the game screen .

can anybody tell me the reason for this and provide me the solution for this.

Also confirm , me that GetClickEvent()will support touch functionality of real windows mobile or not?
if it does not support touch. how could i can provide that .

Thanks in Advance for your reply....

hi...
first of all , sorry for my big post here....

i tested with the Animate3D ,Blaster samples cab files running in my emulator , they are working fine.
the above click problem not coming for them ,

the click issue is still not solved in my game while running in the emulator . the same problem occured in the real device (htc touch mobile also ).

ie ...while game runs,the mobile buttons('x'minimize button, volume button .. menu buttons ) are activating and game going to minimize state.

i dont know why this happens...can anybody face the same problem . and please give me the solution for this .

my cofig settings of game are as follows ....

OnFrameworkConfig(EFRAMEWORKCONFIG *config)
{
config->flags=EFL_NOTEARING;

#if defined(DEVICE_DESKTOP)
config->focusminimize = false;
#else
config->focusminimize = true;
#endif
}
and

OnDisplayConfig(EDISPLAYCONFIG *config)
{
config->orientation = DOR_LANDSCAPE;
config->fullscreen=true;
config->menu = 0;
config->dialogbox = 0;
config->videotype = EDSP_DEFAULT;
config->emulvideotype = EDSP_DEFAULT;
config->openmethod = DOM_DEFAULT;
config->surfacedefault = EST_SYSMEMORY;
config->dspnative = true;
config->surfprerotate = true;
}

once see my game settings... did i make any..mistake in these settings or i nee to do some other settings . please reply me

this is the final issue to be solved in my game .plz help me

Hi,

Your settings seem fine, although I recommend commenting them out (to enable the default settings) and see what happens. You can also copy the settings from the helloworld sample.

Did you re-build the EDGELIB samples yourself? Perhaps there is a problem in your programming environment. Also, you can try putting your game code into one of the EDGELIB sample projects and see if there is some improvement. Finally, check if the correct headers and libraries are included and verify your EDGELIB installation.

Hi,

To have the default EDGELIB configuration, remove the OnFrameworkConfig and OnDisplayConfig functions or make them empty. Perhaps your issue could also be caused by a menu resource being present in your program. If you have a resource.rc file, edit it and remove any menus that you may have.

If nothing helps, it may be necessary to check your program for any memory bugs (don't use any uninitialized pointers and check if you're not writing past any array boundaries).
