blocking keypress

[bobl]

This is my first program built from the samples and source codes.
I'm pleased to see the facility for non-blocking keyboard input
but I would also like to single step through a frame at a time.

Can someone please show me how to modify this program so that you can  use eg the spacebar to step through the program a frame at a time.

Thank you in anticipation

BTW I tried this
ie putting the drawing under the control of the Esc key
but no go

Code: [Select]


    while ( App.IsOpened() ){
sf::Event Event;
while ( App.GetEvent(Event) ){
  if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed) {App.Close();} //mouse click window close or alt/F4
  if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape)) { //Esc key
      App.Clear();
      Text.SetText(  Set_string(capacity,i)  );
      App.Draw(Text);
      App.Display();
      if (count_up){ if (i<capacity) i++; }
      else         { if (i>0) i--;    }
      if (i == capacity) {count_up=0;}
  }
        }
    }


I'm not sure why my code doesn't appear indented when I preview it
I am using code tags. Am I missing something??

You have disabled BBCode in your profile.

Thanks very much

I notice that it's switched on now so thanks for enabling it in the code for my 1st post and turning it on now.

I've just revisited my 2nd post and it works fine.
I just forgot to show the 1st frame to start with and that threw me.
