TextEntered Event does weird stuff

[Trampeltier]

Hi everyone,
my problem is that if I use the TextEntered-Event, It's working fine, BUT there will spawn RANDOM GENERATED CHARACTERS 
It's not the first time it happened to me - in my last project aswell.
I'm using the event as given in the documentation, so am I the only one beeing affected by that?
Could there be programs, which create these symbols?
Here is an example of the symbols - I have saved them by using fstream:

If there is no way fixing that, should I use the KeyPressed-Event?

Please post a complete and minimal example.

(Taking a guess here... you aren't encoding/decoding something properly or worse still, incorrectly using the event loop)

[Trampeltier]

So my code looks like this:

//This function is triggered in the main function
void game::events::mainEvents()
{
        sf::Event Event;
        while (game::Window->pollEvent(Event))
        {
                switch (Event.type)
                {
                case sf::Event::Closed:
                        game::events::Close(Event);
                case sf::Event::Resized:
                        game::events::Resize(Event);
                case sf::Event::MouseMoved:
                        game::events::MouseMove(Event);
                case sf::Event::MouseButtonReleased:
                        game::events::MouseReleased(Event);
                case sf::Event::TextEntered:
                        game::events::TextEntered(Event);
                }
        }
}

//This is the TextEntered-Event Function:
void game::events::TextEntered(sf::Event& Event)
{
        for(unsigned int i = 0; i < game::gui::GUIManagerVector.size(); i++)
        {
                game::gui::GUIManagerVector[i]->CheckPossibleTextEntered(Event, *game::Window);
        }
}

void game::gui::GUIManager::CheckPossibleTextEntered(sf::Event& Event, sf::RenderWindow& Window)
{
        for(size_t i = 0; i <  this->InputBoxes.size(); i++)
        {
                if (InputBoxes[i]->GetState())
                {
                        char TempChar = static_cast<char>(Event.text.unicode);
                        std::string TempString(1, TempChar);
                        std::cout << TempString;
                        std::ofstream Write("weirdtext.txt", std::ios::app);
                        Write<< TempString;
                        Write.close();
                       
                        InputBoxes[i]->AddText(TempString);
                }
        }
}

You lack breaks in your switch.

[Trampeltier]

Thanks, so now I'm using if-statement instead of switch and it's working!
But why is that if I may ask you?

[FRex]

You just needed to add breaks to the switch... like here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/window-events.php
switch cases in c++ fall through, compiler may warn but must compile that, in C# it's forbidden to omit breaks after cases that contain code to prevent bugs like this one.

I typed the text entered event given in the vs 2.1 event tutorial and got a compile error " cout not recognized"  What gives please?
Thanks

[math1992]

Did you forget

 #include <iostream>

or

using namespace std;

?

[wvtrammell]

Thanks
That fixed it.

[wintertime]

That is wrong:

            char TempChar = static_cast<char>(Event.text.unicode);
            std::string TempString(1, TempChar);
 

You should collect the UTF-32 characters you get in a sf::string. Then use sf::Text to draw it or do correct conversion to other encodings.
