ControlP5 / switching windows

in Contributed Library Questions • 2 years ago

Hello,

I'm using processing as a library from Java/Swing. Now the strange thing is, that when I'm switching between some applications and go back to the processing app (embedded in a Swing GUI), controlP5 behaviour is strange. The "elements" then can't be used anymore (like the dropdown instances) and I can drag and drop every controlP5 "element".

best regards,
Johannes

ah, i remember having seen this before. when you switch windows and the alt key is pressed, controlP5 remembers that key being pressed when returning from another app. does pressing alt fix the issue? or disabling the shortcuts with controlP5.disableShortcuts()? if not, let me know, then i put it on the todo list.

Yes, disabling shortcuts works. Maybe you could check if tab and alt are pressed together, then disabling wouldn't be necessary :-)

Edit: Sorry, seems I've been too fast, disableShortcuts() doesn't work but pressing the ALT key does. However I think it should be added to your todo list ;-)
