Issue is fixed. I removed my custom window code and now it all works as expected.

General / Re: Application becomes unresponsive on focus change
« on: March 30, 2022, 07:20:12 pm »
The problem with using a debugger is that the program only crashes when I run it as an executable, and works fine when I am in Visual Studio. I do not have a reason for creating my own window, the project just sort of ended up that way. I will switch my custom window code to SFML and see if it makes a difference. It could be a problem with the SFML window not receiving the events because of the custom window.

General / [SOLVED] Application becomes unresponsive on focus change
« on: March 29, 2022, 10:28:03 pm »
I am creating an application to display a slideshow of images. My application starts and runs successfully, but when I click somewhere else on my screen and change the window focus, the app becomes unresponsive. I am unsure if it is a problem with my event loop or something else.
Below is my main function and I have my event loop inside the main loop.
Thanks

I removed the event handler and the reference to it in the main loop and it started working correctly.

Window / Window freezes when not moused over
« on: March 09, 2022, 08:21:10 pm »
Hello everyone,
I am creating a image slideshow application, and after running for a few cycles, the slideshow stops until I move my mouse over the window. When I move my mouse over the window, sometimes it runs another cycle and sometimes it only moves to the next image. I would like it to continue running indefinitely and change images after a second.
My main function looks like this:
It appears to get hung up during my main loop. The images are all accessed correctly, because it is able to cycle through all of them a few times before it gets hung up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
