Window cannot regain focus
« on: December 08, 2005, 08:51:14 PM »
Hi,

I have a problem where as soon as I start using OIS my app window cannot anymore regain focus.

So, I've got a dos-box window and my Ogre window and then after initialising OIS I cannot refocus the Ogre window (though it does not lose focus until I focus something else).

I tried fiddling with the DISCL values, but that did not help.

Any idea what might be happening? I am running win2k.

(BTW, thanks very much for OIS - it is excellent).

How does the OIS Ogre demo and OIS Console demo included perform? I have tested alt tabbing there and both regain focus fine. In your app, are you using startRendering? if not, make sure you have a Win32 Message pump to pump messages into Ogre's Winproc... Or, you could also try the GLX/Win32 patch I submitted to Ogre's patch tracker and use the PlatformManager::messagePump(RenderWindow *) method to handle the OS specific message Pump - http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15608&highlight=
