Weird behaviour

[Canning]

I am making a world editor. I load TV into a picturebox, and beside this picturebox, to the right, I have some panels with some buttons relating to the world editor.

The weird behavior is this... if i click on a button to the right of the picturebox, TV thinks that I am clicking on the landscape, even though it is to the right of the picturebox.

Basically, it is not sticking to the bounds of the picturebox even though it appears to visually.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Use an if statement before you're click selection.

If Picture1.Focus = True Then ....

That way it will only activate when your mouse is in the render frame.

That's how I do it anyhoos...

Are you initialising with the picture box hwd?

arnienet:

Code:

TV.Init3DWindowed(pctWindow.Handle.ToInt32, True)

Is that code correct?

I also tried If Picture1.Focus = True Then ...., but it still detects clicks outside of the picture box.

TVInputEngine captures all the input. If you want to ignore all the input outside of the window/picture box you have to add a condition in your input processing code to check for position of the click. The Focus property makes sense with the window but a picture box rarely gets focus. I think it can't even get focus. But window can. The rest can be done by disabling all mouse input outside of the picture box based on mouse position.

You could also use some of the picture box's events to help. There's mousedown/up, mouseclick, mousemove, mouseenter and mouseleave. However depending on what you the synchronisation may be different.
