Strange behaviour of systemrequest:
I'm writing an application with multiple displays. I have display 1 active and I run a system request. My request goes always on the background of the active display! Then is not visible. I tryed different solutions having always the same behaviour.
Then I added an icon to my requester (question mark) without other changes to the code and magically now my requester is alway on the foreground.

On what platform do you get this behaviour?

Os4.1 on sam 440ep

Ok, can you provide a small example code snippet that shows the behaviour?

@Andreas

Small code is like this one:

@DISPLAY 1, {X=30, Width = 800, Height = 600, Color = #GRAY, Title=" Editor" }
Box(10,50,500,350,#WHITE,3)
CreateDisplay (2, {X=850, Width = 300, Height = 600, Color = #GRAY, Title ="Config"})
OpenDisplay (2)
SelectDisplay(2)
Nprint("aaaaa")
bb="1|2|3|4"
cc=SystemRequest("Bar Height","More values were found; Select one:",bb)
; cc=SystemRequest("Bar Height","More values were found; Select one:",bb,#REQICON_QUESTION)
SelectDisplay(1)
ActivateDisplay(1)
TextOut(50, 530,"Bbbbb "..cc )

Repeat
WaitEvent
Forever



The problem is that the small code works fine. Then I think can be the interation between some other command in the code.

May I e-mail you the whole code? if you want send me an e-mail at sb5@libero.it

Sorry, I don't have the time to read through long chunks of code. You must isolate it in a very small example...

By the way, if it's working in this small example, then it's likely that the bug is in your script... make sure that the display where you want the requester to appear is active!
