CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

You're right, this makes sense. I was overthinking this. Reinjecting release events does indeed sound like the right approach; the interna of the UI widgets shouldn't be my business.

Resolving this as "working as intended" then.Thanks a lot, and sorry for the hassle!

It's up to you to figure out when to inject the copy/cut/paste requests. However you can keep the current control key states in your input injector which should get rid of the active window problem. You are basically going to listen to CTRL_UP and CTRL_DOWN events, update mControlHeld appropriately...

Just curious, why aren't you calling injectCopyRequest and injectPasteRequest instead of doing it manually like this? Because I hadn't known about it - thanks :-) That just saves me from looking up the active window, though, right? I still have to watch out for the actual Ctrl-X/C/V keystrokes, tho...

To add to this, the actual Shift key is also affected: Hold down shift, focus away, release shift, and when you come back, simple cursor movement in an edit box starts selecting text.

Ah, sorry, the title is referring to "shift states" on a general level, including Meta, Greek, Hyper, Control, and whatnot. I'm assuming that CEGUI is keeping track of more than just Control :-) Code goes like this: case sf::Event::KeyPressed: if (Event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::LControl |...

I'm just starting with CEGUI and learned with great delight that the edit box widget supports all kinds of line editing, like word-wise cursor movements and copy paste, and bidirectional selections. Great job! Here's one small nitpick: I implemented some logic for copy-pasting, which consists of rem...

I've resolved this! The crucial information is in this SFML OpenGL documentation . Basically, I've replaced SFML's Window::clear() with a GL-clear, and the important change is to save the GL state while doing SFML drawing. My render loop now looks like this: glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BU...

In CEGUI 0.8.3, in file src/falagard/TextComponent.cpp, there is a typo:


should be



This only manifests when compiling with CEGUI_BIDI_SUPPORT enabled.

I am following this outdated SFML + CEGUI tutorial , using SFML 2.1 and CEGUI 0.8.3 (on Linux, with the GLRenderer). I've made numerous modifications to the code, and the SFML skeleton is working. However, CEGUI is only working partially: The initial view renders correctly, but it doesn't seem to be...
