Herobot Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I've been using window:Active() to check if my game's window was active or not, to prevent the mouse from being locked in the center of the screen when alt-tabbing. Fired up leadwerks today and suddenly window:Active() is crashing my game with the message "attempt to call method 'Active' (a nil value)". Has window:Active() been disabled/removed? And if so, is there another way to tell if my game has been alt-tabbed? 1 Quote
Josh Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 This is not in the API, so it looks like it was never official: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/window/ Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
Ma-Shell Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I think, you should consider adding this to the API, as Herobot's use-case is quite a good example for the usefulnes of that function. I really hate it, when I alt-tab out of a game to change some setting and I can't because my mouse keeps jumping to the center of the screen. Also, there is relly not more to it than just comparing the output of "GetActiveWindow()" from the windows-API to "window->hwnd". 6 Quote
gamecreator Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I agree that this should finally be made an official function. Leadwerks needs to support users alt-tabbing. I even started a thread about this once and was directed to the unofficial solution. Quote
