I have created a Typing Class that displays keyboard events onto an SFML window. I am not trying to create a Cursor class that will show a blinking cursor onto the same SFML window.
My thinking is to have the addEventHandler function read the mouse input, then the actual blinking occurs in my update function. I want the blinking to occur every 500ms, I'm stuck on what else I need to make the blinking occur on the SFML window. Thanks in advance.
class Cursor : public sf::Drawable{
public:
Cursor();
void addEventHandler(sf::RenderWindow& window, sf::Event event);
void update();
virtual void draw(sf::RenderTarget& window, sf::RenderStates states) const;
private:
sf::Cursor cursor;
sf::Clock clock;
bool showCursor;
const sf::Time delay;
};
////////////////////Cursor.cpp//////////////////////////
#include "Cursor.h"
Cursor::Cursor(){
}
void Cursor::addEventHandler(sf::RenderWindow &window, sf::Event event) {
if(event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed)
{
std::cout << "Mouse" << std::endl;
if (cursor.loadFromSystem(sf::Cursor::Arrow)){
window.setMouseCursor(cursor);
window.setMouseCursorVisible(true);
}
}
}
void Cursor::update() {
if(clock.getElapsedTime() >= sf::milliseconds(500))
{
clock.restart();
cursor.loadFromSystem(sf::Cursor::Arrow);
std::cout<<"Update"<<std::endl;
}
}
void Cursor::draw(sf::RenderTarget &window, sf::RenderStates states) const {
}
////////////////////main.cpp//////////////////////////
#include <iostream>
#include "SFML/Graphics.hpp"
#include "Typing.h"
#include "Cursor.h"
int main() {
sf::RenderWindow window;
window.create(sf::VideoMode(800,600), "Typing in SFML");
Typing typing;
Cursor cursor;
while (window.isOpen())
{
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
{
if(event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
{
window.close();
}
typing.addEventHandler(window, event);
cursor.addEventHandler(window, event);
}
cursor.update();
typing.update();
window.clear();
window.draw(typing);
window.draw(cursor);
window.display();
}
return 0;
}
