[Fix] Fixing input

[Nean]

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

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

Good job.

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.

Fail how? it works with only a few lines of code to fix a mistake you made.

lol, Dmitry got burned.

[Nean]

Wait, so this is unsatisfactory? Elaborate.

[Matt]

Lol. DFA was kidding, he was just mad you fixed something he broke.

Damn, I need to stop posting drunk. I don't figure these things out.

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.
