Alt key crashes engine :(

For some reason pressing alt crashes the engine. Is this a known issue or anything like that?

Could you please post us the non-working code. Because my programs compile fine with no alt-key trouble.

Of course, alt-F4 will close the current window etc, so I take it you are handling that case.

Never happened to me. Post some code or a screen shot.

Definitely not a known issue :-) As long as it doesn't also happen with the examples you will have to show us some code so we can help you.

That's because when you press alt the device loses focus, so it doesn't render anything.

hmmm ok, is there a way i make it pause when it loses focus or is there a fix for it?

Yeah here is some pseudo-code:

Code: Select all

bool paused = false;
while(device->run())
{
     if(device->losesFocus())
     {
          paused = true;
     }
     if(paused == false)
     {
          driver->beginScene();
          //all of that other stuff
     }
}

That should work(maybe)
