I have a small problem with an application I am writing, in that whenever I
change mode whilst the application is running, the windows for this application
and most other applications open at the same time are not redrawn. If I then
quit my application and change mode again, the windows for the other
applications all reappear. I suspect that I am neglecting to take some action
when I receive ModeChange messages, but I don't have access to the PRM's, and
so I am unable to find out. I do handle OpenWindow messages, which I am fairly
sure is correct because dragging windows works fine.

(The reason that I have no PRMs is that I have been waiting over a year for the
RO3 version. If I'd known I would have been waiting this long, I think I would
probably have bought the RO2 version in the first place, and hoped for some
sensible upgrade deal......minor grumble off...)

It sounds like some task is intercepting the Message_ModeChanged message rather
than allowing it to be passed on to the other tasks. Either that or whatever
is doing the mode changing is not using Wimp_SetMode. Could any of the
tasks you are running fall into this category?

    Cheers, Julian.
