InputReceiver

Introduction

The InputReceiver property is a property which can be assigned on the InputManager to identify that a particular object (which must implement the IInputReceiver interface) should receive keyboard input. This property can be used to prevent multiple objects from receiving keyboard input. This is useful if multiple game objects respond to keyboard input - such as a a text box and a character in a platformer.

Setting InputReceiver

The InputReceiver can be assigned through custom code. For example, the following might be an event executed when an Entity in Glue is clicked:

// assuming that "this" is the container of the click event, and that it implements the IInputReceiver interface:
FlatRedBall.Input.InputManager.InputReceiver = this;

Preventing double input

For information on how to prevent input, see the IInputReceiver page.
