return from dos screen to window screen
return from dos screen to window screen
When I run a basic program in windows with graphics the program presents the graphical output in a full size DOS screen. This screen remains when the program returns to the program edit mode. Initially also graphics was presented in a small window, but in the past I have activated the large mode by some key. However, I can't find the key to return to the smaller windows screen.
Is there any?

You should be able to return to windowed mode by pressing the following combination of keys.
ALT + Enter (return whatever it's called on your keyboard).
This is a toggle as in press it once it returns to windowed mode, press it again it goes back to full screen mode, etc etc.
Hope this helps.

[quote="merallas"]When in graphic mode the screen dissapears and qbasic looks to be terminated. In my remembering it was also possible to make a graph in the small window screen. But perhaps I am wrong.[/quote]
You cannot have a running program in SCREEN 13, etc. be also in a small window screen.
I am surprised, however, that you say it disappears. On my system, it simply makes a smaller window and says "Frozen".

Oh right, in graphics mode, you can't have windows graphics applications in QB because of the dos part of it. it won't let you. my trick would work if you were making a screen 0 program too, not just in edit mode...but as soon as you're in graphics, you're in full screen mode.

Are you sure? On my old pentium II windows 98 I was able to run a compiled program in windowed mode. (Indeed with Alt+Enter). It runned t much lower framerate though (not the speed sucked, but the refresh rate of the window). I have dumped the computer to my younger brother now, but I'm sure I could do this.

Surely your brother would let you try that and verify one way or the other.
All I can say is I have never seen it done.
Maybe your program was an EXE compiled in some other language and capable of running directly under Windows.

?????????????
What do you mean by somewhat? Can you see the IDE header? How small does it get?
