Userlib: Good keyboard text entry!
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Userlib: Good keyboard text entry!

| well since no one seemed to notice my plea for help, i guess i'll release it as it is. this is a userlib for perfect keyboard text input, based on the dark basic Entry$() command. it works fine, except for the two problems described on the site. you can read and download here: http://www.fivetwelve.dbspot.com/projects.htm i hope someone finds use for this :) |

| sounds good for adventure games and the like, thanks dude! What does it do that blitz cant usually do? |
| ||
| mainly key autorepeat. it sounds small but i miss it very much when i don't have it. it also seems to be more accurate than blitz functions, and since it uses a buffered input, it works better at low framerates than homemade blitz input functions. |
| ||
| Great... I would like to use it for my GUI, but is there a way to read the input of non-printable characters? Like the cursor-keys for example... Or can You suggest a workaround? |

| Regarding the subclass error when the blitzapp aborts before you have released it. Have you tried using the DllMain function in your dll and checked for a DLL_PROCESS_DETACH/DLL_THREAD_DETACH event? Perhaps you could release the subclass that way. |

| i forgot about DllMain :) i will have to look into that. i'll post a new version if/when i fix it. it will probably also have control characters like abomination asked for :) |
