Command keys in text input boxes
« on: August 26, 2008, 08:18:34 PM »
Pretty straightforward question lol

I have 2 text input boxes in-game. But it is very annoying to try to type something into them if some of the keys you're trying to write are commands keys of BC (like increasing impulse, changing target, switching camera, etc)
So the question is: can I somehow disable the commands (keyboard key commands) while the text input box is selected so that the user can type anything without problems? When deselecting the box (clicking somewhere else) the commands would be restored obviously.

Take a look at the QB Setup window, they filter (command) keys there.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...
