problem with Edit Boxes

[yin nadie]

I've got a window created as this:

gui::IGUIWindow* window = env->addWindow(core::rect<s32>(220, 180, 420, 300), false, L"Connect to...", 0, 101);
env->addStaticText(L"IP address:", core::rect<s32>(10,30,90,50),false, false, window);
env->addEditBox(L"000.000.000.000", core::rect<s32>(80,30,190,50), true, window, 102);
env->addStaticText(L"port:", core::rect<s32>(10,60,90,80),false, false, window);
env->addEditBox(L"80", core::rect<s32>(80,60,190,80), true, window, 103);
env->addButton(core::rect<s32>(10,90,190,110), window, 104, L"Connect!");

(the env variable has been declared as: env = device->getGUIEnvironment(); device has been initialized, etc. )

It compiles correctly, but when executed, I can't type anythig inside the edit boxes. I can delete the contents just fine, using either BACKSPACE or SUPR, but can't write any new character.

Note: i'm compiling under linux mandrake 9.2

Please, help.

There are still some problems with linux and key input, sorry for that. Hope I'll fix that soon.

not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it works for me:

edit: better version that also captures the alt-key so alt-f4 now works within linux, too and the error message "no win32 key found" is gone.
