m key always switching mouse buffer mode

[Clay]

Ok I'm at my wit's end. Every time I hit the 'm' key my mouse freezes (using CEGUI) and when I hit m again it comes back. It's like it's switching off mouse buffered mode, but it shouldn't be happening since I don't let my frame listener call the base class.

Class:

Code: Select all

class PythonDemoListener : public ExampleFrameListener, public MouseMotionListener, public MouseListener
{
public:

    PythonDemoListener(RenderWindow* win, Camera* cam, CEGUI::Renderer *renderer, CEGUI::Window *iWindow);
    virtual ~PythonDemoListener( );
    virtual bool frameStarted(const FrameEvent &evt);
    virtual bool frameEnded(const FrameEvent& evt);
    virtual void mouseMoved (MouseEvent *e);
    virtual void mouseDragged (MouseEvent *e);
    virtual void mousePressed (MouseEvent *e);
    virtual void mouseReleased (MouseEvent *e);
    virtual void mouseClicked(MouseEvent* e);
    virtual void mouseEntered(MouseEvent* e);
    virtual void mouseExited(MouseEvent* e);

    virtual void keyPressed(KeyEvent* e);
    virtual void switchMouseMode();
	virtual void switchKeyMode();
protected:
    CEGUI::Renderer *mGUIRenderer;
    bool mShutdownRequested;
};

Part of the class:

Code: Select all

bool PythonDemoListener::frameStarted(const FrameEvent &evt)
{
    return true;
}

bool PythonDemoListener::frameEnded(const FrameEvent& evt)
{
    return ! mShutdownRequested;
}

Out side of the constructor call:

Code: Select all

ExampleFrameListener(win, cam, true, true)

There is no call to example frame listener. After scratching my head a while, I REMOVED this code from ExampleFrameListener:

Code: Select all

if (mInputTypeSwitchingOn && mInputDevice->isKeyDown(KC_M) && mTimeUntilNextToggle <= 0)
{
    ...
}

And it STILL turns off mouse movement when M is pressed.

Any clue as to what I can do about this?

I'm using Ogre 1.0.0 RC1 and the CEGUI that comes with it.

Edit: Pressing k also stops input from going to CEGUI as well, even though I've also disabled that piece of code. Is this a CEGUI problem?

It certainly is not a CEGUI problem - I use CEGUI with my app, and I don't get anything like that...

Why don't just remove the exampleframelistener from there? As I can see you don't really make use of it anyway...

It's this little gem in ExampleFrameListener:

Code: Select all

	void keyClicked(KeyEvent* e) 
	{
		if (e->getKeyChar() == 'm')
		{
			switchMouseMode();
		}
		else if (e->getKeyChar() == 'k')
		{

			switchKeyMode();
		}

	}

Thanks for spotting it, we need to override that in the GUI demo too.

Ohhh nasty little bugger. Thanks. =)
