Key Press for Quit, How To?

[firefly2442]

I'm going through the tutorials and I was wondering how I could get the key press of 'Esc' or 'Q' in order to quit the demo. Is there some forcequit way? I've been giving the examples the old "three finger salute" with CTRL-ALT-DELETE. Thanks.

The techdemo has an example to use escape but involves the use of other .h files so it's complicated (at least for me).

I think there must be a way to assign the quit function straight to a key, just like WASD navigation for the camera.

I need that too!

Don't think so. But why don't you just use the KEY_INPUT event of the EventReceiver (max. 10 lines of code)?

here's what I use for a few progs:

bool exit = false;

class MyEventReceiver: public IEventReceiver
{
virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event)
{
switch(event.KeyInput)
{
case KEY_ESCAPE:
exit = true;
}
}
}

.
.
.
int main()
{


while(device->run() && exit == false)
{
.
.
.
}

}


fill the ...s with whatever you like, but I hope you see what i'm doing. if you already use and EventReceiver class, this should be a 5-6 line addition to your code.

Hope it helps!

Exact. I would do it so, too.
