Execute code Before ALT+F4

[Jake007]

Hi!

Is it possible to execute some code before ALT + F4?

Irrlicht can't detect ALT key as I found out here -> http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =7&t=40253 ( if it can please let me know), so I can't simply use if statement.

Regards,
Jake

well afaik alt-4 (in windows) sends the message to close the windows app, and irrlicht would be that receiver. i think it just closes the irrlicht device by setting the run() return value to false. i don't see why you couldn't just put that code after the engine while() drawing loop.

In windows, Alt+F4 sends a WM_CLOSE message to your window messaging loop, irrlicht itself barely has anything to do with it (I'm not sure how this works in Linux, but I assume it's something similar)

You'd have to catch the WM_CLOSE message before the messaging loop does to be able to execute code before it actually closes the window

Thanks. I'll try HerrAlamnack's suggestion. Otherwise, I've already came up with alternative. Not so precise, but I it should do.
