Dialog Not Working Correctly
Ron Rider
Member #8,208

Within the past week or two, I have been learning how to use Allegro Dialogs, and I thought I had the hang of them. That was until one of my DIALOG arrays stopped working correctly. I had declared the following DIALOG:

1int game_button_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c)
2{
3 int ret = d_button_proc(msg, d, c);
4 if (ret == D_CLOSE && d->dp3)
5 return ((int (*)(void))d->dp3)();
6 return ret;
7}
8 
9DIALOG your_char_dialog[] =
10{
11 /* (dialog proc) (x) (y) (w) (h) (fg)(bg) (key) (flags) (d1) (d2) (dp) (dp2) (dp3) */
12 { game_button_proc, 15, 575, 160, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, (void*)"&Save Character",NULL, (void*)SaveChar },
13 { game_button_proc, 325, 575, 160, 16, 0, 0, 0, D_EXIT, 0, 0, (void*)"&Go to Town", NULL, (void*)GoToTown },
14 { game_button_proc, 625, 575, 160, 16, 0, 0, 0, D_EXIT, 0, 0, (void*)"&Exit", NULL, (void*)gameExit },
15 { d_yield_proc, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL },
16 { NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL }
17};

And I am calling it with do_dialog:

do_dialog(your_char_dialog, -1);

The 2nd and 3rd buttons both work, and do their job; however, the first one(which calls (void*)SaveChar) does not do anything. When I click the button it only gets selected, but does not call SaveChar(). This button used to work since the beginning of my game, but it just stopped working, and I am not sure why. I have tried moving the do_dialog() call to the beginning of my program, but that doesn't work. I have even tried putting another button in front of the faulty button, that doesn't work either. My code compiles fine the button just doesn't do anything.

Can anyone help me with this?

Did you do a total recompile?

Yes, I rebuilt the whole program before I ran it.

Add a D_EXIT flag to the first button.
