Mr. Frieden said the kernel doesn't have such problems so the problem must be on an application side. Your code in the first post looks good. Are you sure that code part generates those error messages and it's not some other part of the code causing it ?

I asked the kernel guy what such error message from another software means and he said it's usually a buffer overrun/underrun.

I got help from another coder so this works ok now.

Now I get the help bubbles. But Query is made to the first gadget still no matter which gadget mouse is over. Being experienced coder of several decades I thought I understand C pointers well nowadays. But it seems, it is still not clear always. Sometimes you have to provide a pointer, sometimes sys...

In GM_QUERY, who ever calls the dispatcher function, returns instance data of the first gadget in a layout/window no matter which one of the many gadgets mouse is over. How do I tell GM_QUERY which gadget it is ? I don't get anything displayed no matter if I'll remove those SuperMethod calls or use ...

case GM_HELPTEST: id=INST_DATA(cl,o); ret=IIntuition->IDoSuperMethodA(cl,o,msg); ret=GMR_HELPHIT; break; case GM_QUERY: id=INST_DATA(cl,o); if (((struct gpQuery *)msg)->gpq_Type==GMQ_HINTINFO) { ((struct gpQuery *)msg)->gpq_Data=(int32 *)id->HintInfo; } ret=IIntuition->IDoSuperMethodA(cl,o,msg); re...

I'm developing a gadget class. How do I add HintInfo/Help bubble support into it ? Amiga Wiki tells when receiving GM_HELPTEST message then I should return GMR_HELPHIT as a return value. Or should I open a window myself and draw the help text into it or should Intuition do it for me ?

@broadblues, tonyw

I got it working. I forgot I had the related code in my input handler already.

Thanks both of you !

So it's struct gpInput. But how do I get how much wheel was rotated and to which direction ?

What is the message structure GM_HANDLESCROLL receives in a BOOPSI class dispatcher ?
