WinUAE 2.2.0 responds to F12 w/o focus

Sigma · 05 July 2010, 13:40

Hi everyone,

I noticed today that WinUAE 2.2.0 responds to the F12 key, even if it is not the program with the focus. E.g. WinUAE's emulation is started, and if I switch to another program and press F12, then WinUAE's properties box pops up (even if the program itself does something with the F12 key).

This has happened on both my Windows 7 x86 and x64 computers. As far as I can tell, it will respond to F12 regardless of the program that actually has the focus. F12 is the only key I've observed it respond to so far.

WinUAE 2.1.0 doesn't respond to F12 without having the focus on the same computers.

Doesn't here with XP SP3 and WinUAE 2.2.0. No matter if the program that has the focus uses the F12 key or not.

It happens only in rawinput mode, hardcoded F12 check (losing GUI access by using Input panel is something you don't want to happen..) didn't check focus state. Will be fixed.

I wasn't sure if this was expected behaviour or not, so I decided to mention it, just in case. I'm not sure where rawinput mode is set though.

Rawinput is default in 2.2 (and later), less stupid than DirectInput (which is actually less direct than rawinput..)

DirectInput is only enabled (fallback) if no rawinput capable mouse or keyboard is detected. (PS/2 connection?)
