While this isn't literally miniwindows coding, it functionally has a lot to do with my use of miniwindows and hotspots!
The goal is to have an interface where a few buttons control a qwerty x zxcvb grid of macros (like starcraft), but I have a critical issue with the function of it currently.
Explanation:
-I have a hotspot I press to toggle between accelerators.
-When I click outside of the command box the ticking cursor goes away, and my first keystroke of an accelerated key is not sent, instead this keystroke returns the ticking cursor to the command window and following accelerated keystrokes behave as they should.
-When not doing an accelerated keystroke, this problem doesn't arise for some reason, after clicking away from the command box the first stroke puts the pressed letter into the command box
So, what I'm looking for is to have some way for the first accelerated command after I click outside of the command box to be properly sent (this is fairly important to the function of my GUI!).
As an aside, I've tried the "all typing goes to command window" both ways to no avail.
Thanks!
edit: If someone wants to recreate my situation to try to find the solution, all you need to do is make an accelerated key, and click off the command box, then use that key. The problem I don't think is rooted in anything to do with miniwindows, so I hope this isn't considered posting in the wrong forum.
