Windows not opening correctly?

[Samyboy]

Hello,

When I create an sf::RenderWindow, the window itself opens all fine, but at the taskbar it doesn't show correctly untill I move/resize it or do any Events on it.

Is there a way to solve this? Because it is very ugly

Hi

Which version of SFML ? Which OS ? If Linux, do you use Compiz or any other OpenGL based WM?

[Samyboy]

I'm using SFML 1.5 and both:

- Windows 7 64 Bit
- Windows XP 32 Bit

Can you show your code?

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    sf::RenderWindow theWindow(sf::VideoMode(352, 352, 32), "HEllo World", sf::Style::Close);

    theWindow.Display();

    sf::Event Event;
    while (theWindow.IsOpened()) {
        while (theWindow.GetEvent(Event)) { // Get all the Events (User Input) and handle them
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                theWindow.Close();
        }

        Sleep(1); // To reduce CPU-Usage
    }

    return 0;
}

I'm using CodeBlocks

This code works fine for me (Windows XP 32 bits).

What do you mean by "it doesn't show correctly"? Can you show a screenshot?

It stays like that untill I press a Key, click or move the window...

Have you tried the precompiled samples provided in the SDK?
