General / Re: Write to Console While Out Of Focus/Hidden?

Apparently the only thing CupertinoEffect didn't know was that SFML would also allow text input through the TextEntered event. Hence the attempt to use std::cin -- I doubt he's actually interested in a solution to forcefully use the console just for the sake of it.

I can confirm that I was after the TextEntered event and that I was trying to use the console because I'm godawful at SFML.

Why don't you use sf::Event::TextEntered?

I'm fairly new to SFML so I'm working on what I know from C++.
Is there a way to use sf::Event::TextEntered to input the value of a string?

General / Write to Console While Out Of Focus/Hidden?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to write to the console while focused on the window, preferably while the console is hidden.
My goal is to have a line with the function getline(cin, string) that the user can write to without the console being visible.
Is this possible? I'm totally stuck.
