stopping ESC from exiting presentation mode
Oct 19th, 2005, 1:07am  
really sorry to be asking this... I fear it is ridiculously simple and may have been answered already elsewhere. I want to disable escape key from quitting present mode. the following thread mentions this:

http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1114027594;start=3#3

there Fry suggests:
" and if you don't want to let people hit escape (i.e. an installation), you just have to make keyPressed() set key = 0 so that the ESC isn't intercepted."

I have tried

void keyPressed(){
 if(keyCode==ESC || key == ESC){
    key = 0;
    keyCode = 0;
 }
}

but hitting escape still exits present mode.   I need the use of my escape key!  any help would be appreciated!

thanks!

ah, because it's still picking up the ESC on keyReleased() and keyTyped()

so adding this fixes it:

void keyReleased() {
 if(keyCode==ESC || key == ESC){
    key = 0;
    keyCode = 0;  
 }
}

void keyTyped() {
 if(keyCode==ESC || key == ESC){
    key = 0;
    keyCode = 0;  
 }
}

i've fixed it for 94.
