Text input

[pickumater]

Hello, I'm having a problem with inputting text. I saw on the forums that this is one way
of doing it:

 if (event.type == sf::Event::TextEntered){
                                         if(StringPort.length()<5){
                                                 StringPort+=static_cast<char>(event.text.unicode);Sleep(150);}
                          VnesenPort.setString(StringPort);
                                                   if(event.text.unicode==8)
                                                        StringPort.erase();
 

But that doesn't work so good, because whenever I type something in, the program types it too fast, so I'm using the Sleep function, but there is obviously a better way. Please help me out : )

Is it as fast as when typing in a text area like this one on the forum?
If yes and if that doesn't suit you maybe you want to disable key repeat.

This piece of code is inside the event loop, right?

Thank you Laurent, I got it fixed, that code  wasn't in the event loop. : )
