Feature requests / Mouse capture/grab

« on: August 02, 2011, 04:19:18 pm »

There clearly is a need for real mouse input, with no clamp to borders hack.
DirectInput on Windows would be the perfect solution and on Linux there is evdev. That's what evQuake uses.

General / SFML2, cmake and Windows 64 bits

I wanted to have my code compatible with visual studio for once, but cross compiling seems much cooler.
In the end I think I'll opt for that, thank you Svenstaro !

I understood that with Contadotempo's reponse.
It works and I can compile/run my code, but it still feel strange to need the debug version of sfml when I just want to debug my application, not sfml.

Indeed by selecting release mode my executables are working.

But I'll not have the courage to recompile sfml whenever I want to switch between release and debug.
I don't see why Visual Studio can't make calls to sfml release lib inside my debug app.
Isn't there a way to use both ?

Hi,

As a Linux user I thought it would be a good idea to make my apps Windows compatible, so I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express.
Building sfml with cmake was easy following the tutorial (used nmake to compile), and sfml examples are working.

But when I get to a basic app compiled from a visual studio project generated by cmake, the sfml window title is make of a few garbage characters before my app name.
That was my first and last warning : when I tried to load an sf::Image from file I got a unhandled exception (Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.), inside sf::Image::LoadFromFile.
Copy/pasting the sfml's opengl example gave me the exact same crash, as for using nmake rather than directly Visual Studio.

I don't understand what could cause the crash.
Could it be a x64/x86 problem ? (My windows 7 is x64, but visual studio express only compiles x86 so I'm pretty sure it didn't tried to combine x86 app with x64 dlls).
Or am I just using cmake wrong ? My app's CMakeLists.txt is just a basic cmake file, using this FindSFML.cake.

Feature requests / Mouse capture/grab

I need this feature for X11, so I tried calling XGrabPointer but my sfml window now receives no more mouse event, whatever I put as owner_events and event_mask.
Does anyone managed to make it work ?
And are there any news on some implementation of this ?
