make a console getting events

[chaoslion]

Hello!

i have made a console class pretty much like the one in q3.
I´ve derived it from the IEventReceiver class, so it has the OnEvent function.
How can i actually send events to this receiver, since there´s already an active event receiver registered with the device.. how would you guys do it?

If you already have an event receiver registered, you might want to consider forwarding unhandled messages to another event receiver or receivers. I posted code a long time ago on how do to this, but it is pretty simple to do. Here is a link.

You don't usually send events directly to your event recievers. The event receiver is a way for the irrlicht library to send messages back to the application. If you need to send a message, you would usually use one of the postEventFromUser() methods to send the message directly to the gui or the scene manager.

Or use device->setEventReceiver(...) to switch between different event receivers...
