ListRequest issue on Aros 68k

Post by amyren »

If using ListRequest in a program running on AmiBench (the Aros 68k environment on the A600GS) the items in the list are hidden, as well as the buttons.
Both the buttons and the text will become visible after being selected once.

I found this statement in another thread

Code: Select all

No, ListRequest() doesn't require reqtools.library. It's a custom implementation but no, it doesn't use ReAction either :)
Being a custom implementation, are there any clues that can be passed along to the A600GS developers to adress this?

For a minimum example, the one from the docs can be used:

Code: Select all

r = ListRequest("User prompt", "Which of these is not an island?",
{"Australia", "Fiji", "New Zealand", "Easter Island", "Hawaii",
"Goa", "Madagascar", "Maldives", "Seychelles"})
If r = -1
  Print("  You chose the chicken exit!")
ElseIf r = 5
  Print("  That's right, congratulations!")
Else
  Print("  Sorry, but that is an island...")
EndIf

Sorry, this looks like an AROS issue. The ListRequest() implementation works fine on OS3, OS4 and MorphOS so I think the AROS guys should debug this and see why it doesn't work. It's highly unlikely to be a Hollywood bug.

Thanks, I was suspecting this probably was a Aros issue. Thats why I asked if there was any clues to pass on to the Aros developers.
I dont have a x86 Atos system to test it on, but it might be useful to know if this is an 68k issue only or if it the same on Aros x86. If anyone could compile and test the example above please?
