FLTK/Disabling the escape key
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
< FLTK
FLTK applications automatically exit when pressing the Escape key. To disable this behaviour on the main window, a custom callback must replace the default one:
#include <fltk/events.h> #include <fltk/run.h> #include <fltk/Window.h> #include <cstdlib> void window_callback (fltk::Widget*) { if (fltk::event() == fltk::KEY && fltk::event_key() == fltk::EscapeKey) { // don't do anything when the Escape key is pressed } else { // exit when the user closes the window exit(0); } } int main (int argc, char** argv) { fltk::Window window (300, 300, "FLTK test"); // set our own callback window.callback (window_callback); window.show (argc, argv); return fltk::run(); }
