Oddity with Event.Key.Code(s) ?

[arpeggiodragon]

This one is very straightforward. Using this code:

Code: [Select]


        while (window.GetEvent(Event))
        {
  if( Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Down )
{  
             // setting a breakpoint here triggers when the mouse gets moved most the time.


Moving the mouse around will trigger Key::Dir events and possibly (untested) others. Very strange.

Windows XP. VC++ 09. SFML2.0


[edit] - I investigated this further and found this to be re-produceable when moving the the mouse coordinates outside of the top-left corner of the window and back.

In other words: Just shake the mouse real fast next to the window icon.

What about testing the type of event before assuming it is a KeyPressed?

Code: [Select]

while (window.GetEvent(Event))
{
    if (Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed && Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Down)
    {
        ...
    }
}

Oops! Yep. Works fine. Looks like it's in the documentation also (Which I should probably take a quick look at first when something goes wonky).  

Thanks.
