Hi everyone.
Yet another call for help.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get keyboard input without the =
default console? The problem I have is that I have just ported a new =
morfit example from the C++ source (shows gouraud shading). It opens a =
full screen display, which totally hides windows and the console. The =
danger comes if you mouse click on the full screen display. It takes =
focus away from the console and it is impossible then to close my =
program with the escape key as there is no way to return focus to the =
con. The code works really well under EU but I can't destribute it while =
it is this dangerous!
Thanks in advance
Mark Brown

Can't you disable and hide the mouse until you return from full
screen ( the user can use hotkeys if some input is necessary

Thanks Bernie. I didn't even think of fixing it like that.
As a matter of interest I just ran the C++ version and it does exactly the
same thing as the Euphoria port anyway !
