I'm using OIS with buffered key input which injects char and keydown.

bool PlayState::keyPressed(const OIS::KeyEvent& arg)
{
   CEGUI::System& sys = CEGUI::System::getSingleton();
    sys.injectKeyDown(arg.key);
    sys.injectChar(arg.text);

When I press Enter, I activate and show an editbox.

Code: Select all

   case OIS::KC_RETURN:
      {
         CEGUI::Window* chatBox = mCEGUIWinMgr->getWindow("/ChatBox/Text");
         
         if (chatBox->isActive()) 
         {
            chatBox->hide();
            chatBox->deactivate();
         }
         else 
         {
            chatBox->show();
            chatBox->activate();
         }
      }

Everything works fine except that I want to make the backspace unbuffered so that you don't have to press it multiple times to remove text.

How do you recommend doing so? Should I just make a case where; when the editbox is activated, I inject backspace as unbuffered?

I'm no expert on OIS, so take this reply as you find it

What you need is for OIS to generate multiple calls to PlayState::keyPressed(const OIS::KeyEvent& arg) while the key is held down - I would have thought that switching from buffered to unbuffered would have no effect on this auto-repeating keys.

What do the OIS guys say on the subject?

Yea, I guess I should post this on the OIS forums instead. Or perhaps anyone that uses CEGUI with OIS knows a good solution?
