Interface problem. Help!!

[XNASorcerer]

Hi.

I created this interface:

 

I am using a few UserControls to make this.

And and you can see, it has a propertyGrid panel. My problem is that I can access every property of it, but I can not write anything inside any of my controls. I also have a richtextbox and I can not type on it. Mouse input is working fine and I can click inside the richtextbox and the focus go to it, but when I try to type, nothing happens.

This problem is also happening with simple textBoxes, richtextboxes and any controls that accept text.

Here is a simple project showing this. It has a button and a RichTextBox. Just click inside of it and then try to type any text. Nothing will happen.

Does anyone know a way to fix this problem?



Thanks

Hey there !

I just made this little project that captures the keyboard to a TextBox in a form..

Dont know if this is the best / correct way to do it, but anyway...

Thanks, but that won't do it. I have also a propertygrid control, that shows dynamics textbox fields depending on what I select, and I can not be doing that for every.

I don't understand why mouse input works for the usercontrols and keyboard input doesn't.

Hi there.

shouldnt we capture the keyboard typing and convert it to normal text to make the input , making maybe some coding stuff in the main loop ?

Sorry, I'm also new to C#, hope someone more experienced can help.

Possibly because the way XNA handles forms, it doesnt capture the keyboard input normally? You'd need to write something up yourself to capture them using a KeyboardState.

So, Sorcerer, maybe that code I posted, with some adaptions, can work for us. I will give a try on it tonight with your sample project, if you dont mind.
