[Fix] Fixing input - Nean - 28-07-2009

Wrote this up for RootSource on OGC, figured you guys could benefit from it?

Nean Wrote:I just spent the last two and a half hours working on this, so somebody better appreciate it. For spending so long, it's a very few lines of code. Anyways here goes

Add:
Code:
Public Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
in ModInput

Then replace:
Code:
Call CheckInputKeys ' Check which keys were pressed

With:
Code:
If GetForegroundWindow() = frmMainGame.hwnd Then
            Call CheckInputKeys ' Check which keys were pressed
        End If

Voila, done. Now it only responds if the current window is RootSource

DFA Wrote:fully tested? wow if it works right
the best thing i've found was a pretty lengthy module that checks if a window has focus

Haha yeah, I spent two hours alternating writing functions/using booleans trying to determine if the window had focus, and then I stumbled across a GetActiveWindow API, but that didn't work. Another thirty minutes of research, trying to figure it out lead me to the GetForeGroundWindow API which worked flawlessly.

Wait, so this is unsatisfactory? Elaborate.

Dmitry is high on crack. I never understands anything.

Added it to Silverdale. Modded it a bit to allow game input on several forms, but it works like a charm.
