Text Input

[LordSkittles]

Hi. I am a student in Australia and I am using your library to create a game engine for my course. I have created a fly cam using GLFW and when I try to input text, it overrides your input and moves the camera. Is there anyway I can prevent this?

[LordSkittles]

I apologise if this is a little weird, I have just given up googling after several hours and my teachers are no help either :P

Without a little code of what you are doing it is more than unlikely that someone will/can help you

As Omar says in the imgui readme, most of the documentation is the header file. Is there any reason why you couldn't check IsRootWindowOrAnyChildFocused() and disable input to your camera?

Read the comments nearby the ImGuiIO structure.
You can check io.WantCaptureKeyboard after calling ImGui::Update() and hide the inputs from the rest of your app when true.

This is a frequent question but it's also documented in the Programmer Guide in imgui.cpp and other places. I may add it to the FAQ.

[LordSkittles]

If you would like when I have free time I can go through your files and add doxygen to them so you have some online documentation

[ocornut]

Unfortunately that wouldn't be super useful and make the code way too noisy for what is a library that people need to read.

There is already a plan for documentation discussed in #435 which we'll work on with a programmatic approach.

ImGui Doesn't have ImGui::Update() :P Did you mean ImGui_ImplGlfwGL3_NewFrame();

[ocornut]

Sorry I meant NewFrame()

[LordSkittles]

No worries :) Just checking haha.
