Mouse clicks/Key states when window not active

[xinux]

I'm updating my current project to use the latest sfml version, and I have stumbled upon something I don't know how to solve.

When i de-select my game window and f.e. click the windows start button, my character fires his gun, and if I write something in notepad my character jumps around.

Is there any simple fix, like a bool to set to false to not capture things outside of my application?

Also I want to suggest that 'not capturing things from outside of the application' should be true by default.

Catch focus events, and only apply things when your window is in focus.

Also I want to suggest that 'not capturing things from outside of the application' should be true by default.

It's not that simple. The new Keyboard/Mouse/Joystick classes directly request the devices states, they don't care about a window having the focus or not.

But I admit that this is a problem, and I'll provide a more convenient way to handle it.

Ah, didn't know there were events for focus.
I'll use them to set a boolean and check it before i do anything with the events.
Looking forward to future updates!
