Save / Load application position + subapps?

[Nobuyuki]

Hiya. I'm using MMF build 249 with HWA. I am unsure if this is a bug or not. Basically, I have a popup subapp in my main frame which loads another frame from the application. When the user selects the close button, an .mfs is saved.

When loading the application again, on Start of Frame (or really, any point it seems), using the action "Load Application Position" causes edrt to get stuck in an endless loop. The loop first (usually, but not always) displays a msgbox about it being the wrong version, then it seems like it closes the popup, and attempts to load again. In the case where the version is not incompatible, the frame position simply seems to restart over and over.

Though now that I think about it, the endless loop probably has to do with where I'm resetting the frame position, is there a way to load at the start of frame whereby after a single load, the application's state is such that it won't endlessly loop ?

I'm probably not using this feature for its intended purpose, but I wished to see if it would save window position and size, etc. (If there's no easy solution for this, I'll just store the size/position info in an INI)

Thanks

I think that there's an action - "Game has just been loaded" or something along those lines - that you may be able to use to prevent the infinite loop in some way (though I admit I'm guessing here, not having really used the automatic save/load to any great extent).

You could also try to extend your Condition with :

- only one action when event loops

you can find it under:
New Condition -> Special-Object-> Limit Conditions-> only one action when event loops.

Be carefull that you insert it into same condition-field that triggers the loop (as you know, you can have more than one conditions in an event)

This should also limit your app to do the action just one time instead of getting into an infinite loop.

But perhaps DavidN' s idea is easier or more stable to use, or i missunderstood what you wanted to achieve.
