OpenScreenTagList

[Yesideez]

Hi again!

Trying to follow the tutorials here: http://www.pcguru.plus.com/tutorial/screens.html

I'm having a real problem opening a screen because this:

     myScreen = OpenScreenTagList(NULL,
     SA_Left, 0, SA_Top, 0, SA_Width, 640, SA_Height, 480,
     SA_Depth, 8, SA_Title, "My New Screen",
      SA_Type, PUBLICSCREEN,
      SA_SysFont, 1,
      TAG_DONE);

Doesn't like the number of parameters being passed to the function. It should only have two values (window and taglist)

How can I set up a tag list proper please?

I've tried this:

struct TagList *MyScrTags={
  SA_Top,0,SA_Left,0,SA_Width,640,SA_Height,256
}

But it doesn't like more than two tag items because TagList structure in the h files is only two pairs of longwords.

The first code is wrong. You either have OpenScreenTagList (newscreen,taglistptr); or OpenScreenTags(newscreen,tag1,data1,tag2,data2,....,TAG_END);

In the second code part, struct TagList does not exist. It's struct TagItem. And it should be

struct TagItem MyScrTags[]={
  {SA_Top,0},{SA_Left,0},{SA_Width,640},{SA_Height,256},{TAG_END}
}

Never forget TAG_END (a.k.a. TAG_DONE) at the end of a tag list!
