Getting the Current Console and Listening to It

[tygre]

Thanks Thomas!

I thought that SetMode() was enough, here is what I'm doing:

static void _enable_RAW_mode(
	BOOL enable)
{
	if(enable)
	{
		// Enable RAW mode
		SetMode(_con_file, 1);
		// Listen to keyboard and close gadget
		printf("\33[1;11{");
	}
	else
	{
		SetMode(_con_file, 0);
	}
}

Should I do something more (and what?) before or after SetMode(_con_file, 0);?

Cheers!

Before, actually. Please turn raw events off again.

Oh, thank you so much!
That did the trick: now my code also works on AmigaOS v3.2!

For the record, here is the working code:

static void _enable_RAW_mode(
	BOOL enable)
{
	if(enable)
	{
		// Enable RAW mode
		SetMode(_con_file, 1);
		// Listen to keyboard and close gadget
		printf("\33[1;11{");
	}
	else
	{
		printf("\33[1;11}");
		SetMode(_con_file, 0);
	}
}

Cheers!

Hi there!

I must revive this thread because I just noticed a new problem that I can't explain. When closing AmiModradio, I stop listening to events, re-enable "normal" mode, and release the Console. In particular, I do: printf("\33[1;11}"); to stop listening to keyboard events and the close gadget.

When in ViNCEd, no problem, the Console goes back to its "normal" self: I can close it using EndCLI or the close gadget.

When in an "old" Shell, the Console doesn't go back to its "normal" self: I can close it using EndCLI but not the close gadget. The close gadget doesn't do anything until I press RETURN at least once, then it works as expected.

I can solve this problem by using printf("\33[1}"); instead of printf("\33[1;11}"); but I wonder if I'm missing something that explains the different behaviour between ViNCEd and Shell?

Cheers!
