Title: Possible $Debug Bug? - Input$ Reading From a File Shifts Focus From IDE
Post by: hanness on October 02, 2021, 07:28:33 pm

It makes sense that focus would shift from the IDE to my program when an Input statement is encountered, but I find that when I read from a file using Input$ the focus also shifts. Is this expected behavior for some reason?

Here is a sample clip. Simple step through the code line by line and note that the line "Temp$ = Input$(FileLength, 1)" will cause focus to shift to the console. Same thing happens when a console window is used.



   

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. $Debug
2. Option _Explicit
3.  
4. Dim FileLength As Long
5. Dim Temp As String
6.  
7. Open "QBTEST.TXT" For Output As #1
8. Print #1, "blah, blah, blah"
9. Close #1
10.  
11. Open "QBTEST.TXT" For Input As #1
12. FileLength = LOF(1)
13. Temp$ = Input$(FileLength, 1)
14. Close #1
15.  
16. Print "Focus should still be on the IDE at this point"
17. Print "This is the end of the test"
18.

Yeah, it's been hardcoded to do that because I did forget it also takes input from files, not just the keyboard. Thanks for reporting.

Fixed in tonight's development build. Let me know how it behaves on your end. ✨
