@Fred, ExamineKeyboard()

[Codemonger]

Hi Fred I was hoping you could implement a personal favour for me

I am building the base layer to my engine and I have binding commands to speed up game programming, so the programmer does not have to keep track of user events, he/she simply binds them to procedures like so, works great so far except:

Code: Select all

 Declare ExitLoop()
 

 Init3D(32, 800, 600, #CMG3D_FSAA | #CMG3D_Windowed)

 BindWindowEvent(#PB_EventCloseWindow, @ExitLoop())
 BindKey(#PB_Shortcut_Tab, @ExitLoop(), #CMG3D_Pushed)
 
Repeat 

  Flip()          
  CheckBindings()                                 
                   
Until Quit = 1 


 CleanUp()


 Procedure ExitLoop()
    Shared Quit 
    Quit = 1
 EndProcedure

I would like to give the option of the user to use internal PB commands, also because I am currently trying to get the direct input keyboard DIOBJECTDATAFORMAT & DIDATAFORMAT working as it is hard to find the constant of this and convert it to PB ...

Anyway, when I use ExamineKeyboard() I get an error message "OpenScreen or OpenWindowedScreen must be called before this" ... It would be great, if I could use the command without the OpenScreen or OpenWindowedScren being called first

In the meantime I'll just try to do a quick hack for testing purposes ...

Actually it should work, just try to disable the debugger. It shouldn't be used tough..

Yeah works perfectly with debugger disabled, Thanks Fred.

I'll use it in the meantime until I get Direct Input fully working. Is their any way for me to disable that one check in the debugger ? While I test.

[Codemonger]

ah, don't worry Fred I just found a quick way around it .. Thanks.

You can put the keyboard commands in a 'DisableDebugger' & 'EnableDebuger' block
