Using the newly released Version 6.5.1 to make a Windows Standalone, when I use the "ask" command the in the program the text is invisible in the message box.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

David

Show me the code.

Invisible text in message box in windows standalone if following code is used:

-------------------- Enter Player Name
ask "Ingrese Nombre del jugador"
put it into CurrentUser

## User cancelled or did not type anything
if CurrentUser = empty then
exit to top
end if

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

quick guess:
Did you set the "textcolor" property of you mainstack to WHITE or something else
that might look "invisible" on a background with the same color?
Know what I mean?

In a standalone the "Ask" and "Aswner" dialogs, which are just stacks, do in fact inherit
all the properties from its mainstack = your standlaone.

Klaus,

I am using the same code that works in Ver 6.5 rc3 and produces this issue in ver 6.5.1

Hi David,

of course I believe you, there is not much you can do wrong with:
...
ask "Whatever you want to ask!"
...


I am just trying to find an answer, the syntax is definitively OK.
Sorry, no other brilliant idea in the moment...

Klaus,

Can you try it with 6.5.1 sometime and see what it does for you?

It is not a big deal, I just continue to use 6.5 rc3.

I am sure the LC team will fix it in the near future.

Thanks,

David

File a bug report. Bug reporting is how the devs find out about these things in order to fix them. White text, appearing invisible, has been an issue in the past, in other circumstances. There has recently also been work on text and the standalone builder. This could have resulted in the new bug.

Wsamples,

Have you previously set up an account there? This is not the same as the account at the runrev store.

no, I thought it would be the same
