Easy DirectX question

[Jotaf98]

Well I was wondering if there's any way to make it so that I don't have to use Ctrl+Alt+Del and shut down VB everytime an error occurs in my DX game... Any idea? :)

[PsychoMark]

Well, this always worked for me:



Error occurs (normally, you would see a MessageBox), press Space (OK), Alt, R, E (Run Menu, End :))...


Even better: press F1. This will pop up the help (or an error in my case, don't have the MSDN installed :)), and your screen will return to normal...



One more option: use 'On Local Error Goto Bla:' :)

How quick does the code compile?

It may be easier to simply compile the code and run the exe (set it up in the run command window so all you have to press is [WINDOWS KEY] + [R] then [ENTER].

Becomes second nature very quickly - just like pressing [CTRL] + [F5] ;)

or how about the Break button,
i dont know if you have to press Crt + Break or
just break

When i get an error in DX i use ALT+tab and flip back to the code screen.

PsychoMark: that's what I've been using (F1) hehe :p I just wanted to know if there's a better way...

Arbiter, Osiris: Sorry, but it's much easier to just press F1 :D (thanks for the help anyway)

Onyx: It's running in exclusive mode... Alt+Tab doesn't work. The only thing that I can see is the Ctrl+Alt+Del key, since I discovered the AllowReboot flag :p
