Hi,

I need to run my game in a window and use other programs at the same time. My problem is that every time the game window becomes inactive, it stops all the action in the game. Is there some way to keep the game running even when inactive?

Use GoExclusive and not GoSystemExclusive that pauses the game

JMies, it's not possible. The game freeze is default behavior of WME as soon as the window loses focus.

Damn, that makes things a bit more complicated, but thanks anyway. Any chance someone knows where in the WME sources this behavior could be changed?

That would be the CBGame::OnActivate() method.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Thanks, it seems to be working without any problems so far.
