Hi,
is it possible to clear the key input buffer ???

I have a window (non Irrlicht) that handles some key inputs and a Irrlicht window.
If I press the tab key in the non Irrlicht window I activate the FPS camera mode and set the Irrlicht window as active (with API function).
The Irrlicht's event receiver acts to the tab key, too, and disables the FPS camera mode.
But if I switch from the non Irrlicht window to the Irrlicht window the tab key is still in the key buffer and so Irrlicht switches back immadiatly !!!!!

So I whant to clear the key buffer after switching to the Irrlicht window...

If it's not possible with Irrlicht, maybe there is another way, maybe with the windows API ???

thx, Acki

I'm not sure to understand your question, but try

Code: Select all

fflush (stdin);

No, that doesn't work...

But now I'm using a flag...
If I switch to Irrlicht, I set the flag to true and if the flag is trur, Irrlicht doesn't act on the tab key...

CU, Acki
