EDIT: Moved to General after realising that I have used the Graphics package not the Window package and also that the solution is more likely to be of a general type as opposed to something specific to the Graphics library.
I'm trying to write a program for manually recording some data. Some of the entry is in the command line with a basic menu system, but I'm using SFML for pop-up windows to record location data.
The problem is that when the window closes, the cursor doesn't return to the command line automatically. I have to manually move the mouse and click on the terminal before being able to enter keyboard input for the menu system on the command line. Is there a way so that this happens automatically?
I haven't been able to find any results on this topic by searching Google or this forum.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
This is a simplified version that demonstrates the essence of the menu system and pop-up window.
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int locationCoordinates[2] = {0};
void locationWindow()
{
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "");
window.setFramerateLimit(60);
window.requestFocus();
while (window.isOpen())
{
sf::Event event;
while(window.pollEvent(event))
{
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
else if (event.type == event.MouseButtonPressed)
{
sf::Vector2i location = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window);
locationCoordinates[0] = location.x;
locationCoordinates[1] = location.y;
window.close();
}
}
window.clear(sf::Color::White);
window.display();
}
}
int main()
{
bool done = false;
int input = 0;
while (done == false)
{
std::cout << "1. Locate" << std::endl;
std::cout << "2. Exit" << std::endl;
std::cin >> input;
if (input == 1)
{
locationWindow();
std::cout << locationCoordinates[0] << ", " << locationCoordinates[0] << std::endl;
}
else if (input == 2)
done = true;
}
return 0;
}
