Hi
How do you know the keyboard/mouse input has been processed by CEGUI so that you wont try to process it in your own code?

for example I have code like this to capture input:

Code: Select all

   SDL_Event event;

    while(SDL_PollEvent(&event))
    {
    case SDL_KEYDOWN:
       switch(event.key.keysym.sym)
       {
      case SDLK_LEFT: // Do something  
      break;
   }
    }

so how do you know CEGUI has processed the input so that I wont process it with SDL_pollevent ?

I dont want to catch the input my self when trying to edit an editbox in CEGUI.

thanks

CEGUI does not handle inputs as long as you don't tell CEGUI that a key and which key has been pressed. Look here for a code snippet:

that is how I have it setup. but I think I need someway to tell when user is typing something to editbox in CEGUI so that the input wont be passed on.

Check whether inject*() returns true or false:

putting break like this simply makes all input goto only to CEGUI

Code: Select all

if (CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().injectKeyDown((CEGUI::Key::Scan)event.key.keysym.scancode))
                        break;
                        
                        
if (CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().injectKeyUp((CEGUI::Key::Scan)event.key.keysym.scancode))
                        break;

What are you doing?

Code: Select all

if (CEGUI::[...].injectKeyDown(key) == false)
{
    // there was no widget activated so the input has to be passed to your game (or whatever you are creating)
}
break;

This should do the trick.

Nevermind I had to dig deeper to put few subscribeEvent functions in order. And now it works.
