device->Drop or closeDevice

FleshCrawler · Post by **FleshCrawler** » Thu Sep 25, 2003 6:59 pm

i've tried both, so i can quit via the ESC key, but when i quit on ESC i get an error

Unhandled Exception in Program.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation

using VC6.

Code: Select all

if (event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT &&
event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_ESCAPE &&
event.KeyInput.PressedDown == false)
{
	// user wants to quit.
	device->drop();
//	device->closeDevice();
	return 0;
}

thats the code, just like in the techdemo

Just a quick idea, change your logic some and put em all in parenthesis for better clarity:

(event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT) && (!event.KeyInput.PressedDown) && (event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_ESCAPE)

maybe that'll help...

I haven't tried using the esc key but i know that closedevice() quits the program when calling it from a gui button

if i do it that way, i get compile errors.
So seems not to work then

maybe i should post the complete thing i'm trying to do?

this used to work for 0.3, i haven't tested on newer versions

if (event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT)//quit on escape
{
if (event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_ESCAPE &&
event.KeyInput.PressedDown == false)
device->closeDevice();
}

the code works, but still exiting to the same error

last time i forgot to mention it sends me to:

Code: Select all

bool drop()
{
	--ReferenceCounter;
	if (!ReferenceCounter)
	{
		delete this;
		return true;
	}
		return false;
}

in IUnknown.h

i dont know why. maybe i'm doing something terribly wrong

here is the code i'm using so far ->

Code: Select all

class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver
{
public:
virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event)
       {
		if (event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT &&
		event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_ESCAPE &&
		event.KeyInput.PressedDown == false)
		{
			// user wants to quit.
			device->drop();
//			device->closeDevice();
			return 0;
		}	else
	if (camera)
                {
		return camera->OnEvent(event);
		return false;
	}
        }
};

The Camera Part works correct (seen that part in Joi's Code(tnx

)

still dont have it fixed, can someone please help me?

i even tried to change the code. but nothing helps

if i put it in DX8 i cant even switch to any other screens when pressing esc. and when i do it with opengl, i get an error. from within the compiler, the error i wrote in the other post.

i'm really desperate
