Let me elaborate (Re: [AD] Problem with Windows XP + MinGW + alegro (windowed))

["Colin Alston" <diskbox@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If
a) i dont hook the close button to my own proc and ALLEGRO HANDLES THE EXIT
 After the dialog (ie when you press yes and want to exit)  the program
hangs! Then you have to
 use task manager to end the program.

b) if i DO hook the close button and set a flag, then look for the flag in
my main loop, and return 0; if
   the flag is >0 (ie if the close button was pressed) then it works.


Wouldnt it be nice if that dialog box was not there and it just exited
properly ?

The programs also hang if allegro_exit(); is called from inside a procedure

This only happens in windows XP, i tryed 98 and it worked fine
