EventReceiver Question

[chaoslion]

Hey guys,

i got a little problem with my eventrec class:

Code: Select all

bool GuiManager::OnEvent(irr::SEvent e) {

	switch( e.EventType ) {
		case irr::EET_GUI_EVENT:
			return this->parseGuiEvent(e);			
		case irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT:
			return this->parseKeyEvent(e);
		case irr::EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT:
			return this->parseMouseEvent(e);		
	}	

	return false;
}

but it never handels the gui events, but does handle the key and mouse events.
if i change the function this way:

Code: Select all

bool GuiManager::OnEvent(irr::SEvent e) {

	switch( e.EventType ) {
		case irr::EET_GUI_EVENT:
			return this->parseGuiEvent(e);			
		case irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT:
			return false;
		case irr::EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT:
			return false;
	}	

	return false;
}

he handles the gui events..

where do you think is the problem in this??

I don't know what your this->parseGuiEvent(e); (and the other parse functions) return...
but you must always return true if you handled events successfully !!!

so your second code snipet should look like this:

Code: Select all

bool GuiManager::OnEvent(irr::SEvent e) {

   switch( e.EventType ) {
      case irr::EET_GUI_EVENT:
         return this->parseGuiEvent(e); // must return true if success !!!
      case irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT:
         return true;
      case irr::EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT:
         return true;
   }   

   return false;
}
