KeyUp / KeyDown KeyEventHandler Queued

public KeyCapture()
{
      Tick += new EventHandler(OnTick);

      KeyDown += OnKeyDown;
}

OnKeyDown { Camera(); }

OnTick {  if (IsControlJustReleased) { Camera(); }   }

Camera
{
     Screen.Message("Start"); KeyCapture.Wait( 5000 ); Screen.Message("End");
}

The above being a very basic example… not exact code just the layout 😃

Pressing the Control pad button repeatedly will Start a message only if a Press occurs after the Wait. Pressing the Keyboard key will stack up requests to the KeyEventHandler. Once the Wait releases they then begin to execute the queued commands even through the KeyPress was several seconds ago.

This is not the behaviour id expect so… is this a Bug or is there a work around i can use to dispose of the events when the script is not active ?

Thank you for telling about the Handled property. I didn’t even know about it. LOL

Thank you again RainerHilmer, i have added a simple solution that works so far 😃

public class KeyFilter : Script
{
        public KeyFilter()
        {
            KeyDown += OnKey;
        }

        private void OnKey(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            KeyFilter.Yield();

            if (e != null && !e.Handled) e.Handled = true;
        }
}

I can then handle the keyEvents as normal in my KeyCapture script but just check if (!e.Handled). While my main script KeyCapture is waiting KeyFilter will flag any keyEvents as handled.
