I am using Irrlicht in conjuction with another event input system (Qt), so I have to manually pass event to irrlicht using the IrrlichtDevice::postEventFromUser and it works very well. However, I want to know whether irrlicht absorbed the event because I need to know if I should continue processing the event using Qt for menu shortcuts to work or whether I should stop it.
The patch for this is very simple, attached below, and since we are changing the return value from void to bool, this change should not break anything.
