| Dan Barlow 5/9/2014 16:06 | Display.UseForDialogs = True did not work at 640x480x32@60Hz until I set the Display's "Flipping Enabled" to No. I think that Windows is drawing to the "back" page and doesn't know to flip it to the front. |
| Brandon Cernicky 9/9/2014 15:04 | TY for the feedback. Note that if you are using Windows 8 or later the MsgBox command will not typically appear on top of the screen and visible. To work around this issue, please request the "Message Box Package" from PST PS&S (support) web site. |
