loadbmp issue

[davidk64]

loadbmp "adjustSpellsBMP", "adjustSpells.bmp"

WindowWidth = 310
       WindowHeight = 280

       graphicbox #adjustSpells.graphicBox, 140, 20, 145, 210

       open "test" for dialog_modal as #adjustSpells
       bmpName$ = "adjustSpellsBMP"
       #adjustSpells.graphicBox "drawbmp "; bmpName$; " 0 0"

       wait



This code works for me in debug mode but in run mode doesn't load the bitmap.

Any ideas please?

You forgot the DOWN command. The graphics pen needs to be down for any graphics to show.

Oh my!!!

I've read about people forgetting the down command but it never occurred to me it would be an issue for drawing a bitmap. I wonder why it works in debug mode?

Thanks a million Rod
