GUI (focus) bug

Post by Cocodrilo »

Hi everyone!
I got a quite serious problem with Irrlicht, that I don't really know how to explain.
Anyway, I'm trying render an Irrlicht window into an Application making program called Multimedia Fusion 2.

- I've been trying to create an (c++) Extension/Plugin to the program with good result, but a problem still remains. I'm rendering the irrlicht device into a Windows button!

- I've also been trying to create the device using an already existed Extension called dotNet, that let's you use the dotNet framework to utilize its possibilities. The result is the same there, render works fine, but a problem still remains. (I know that the Irrlicht.NET is no longer supported, but that's not very important in this case I guess, as the problem isn't underlying specific to it)
I'm rendering the irrlicht device into a picturebox!

The Problem I've been talking about is that all GUI components does not work. It simply does not get the input focus. When clicking on a GUI button, it doesn't get pressed.


An additional information is, that when creating the irrlicht device throught an extension (programmed in c++), an irrlicht button can be pressed if I rapidly click on the mouse button. While when creating the irrlicht device throught the dotNet extension (in C#) it does never works to press the button.

I can understand if my explaining sounds confusing, but just ask and I will try to explain again. Any suggestion can be helpful! :)
Also, just ask if you want additional information (code, info) on how I use the Irrlicht engine in the 2 cases.

-Thanks!
