Hi,
I am writing a application program in C that uses the mouse,
gadgets, a printer, and the disk drive. Most of the program
consists of fixed screens such as graphs or menus. I currently
have two unrelated problems. First, if I insert or remove a disk
while the program is running, it doesn't sound right. Is there
something that I must do in my program to use the disk drive?
My second question involves reading the mouse with IDCMP flags.
I am trying to read a users input from a menu that is on the full
screen. Unless I press the mouse button very slowly, I seem to
get "ahead of it". In other words, If I press the button fast
on option number one six times, and then press it on option two,
the program continues reading the mouse as if I were still
selecting option number one for two to three more presses. I
would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Thanks,
Ed Greenwood
