Introduction

The ClearAllInput method clears input so that all push and click methods will return false. This method can be useful to prevent click-throughs or same-frame click-throughs.

Code Example

To clear input, simply call the ClearAllInput method:

FlatRedBall.Input.InputManager.ClearAllInput();

Introduction

The InputReceiver property can be assigned to set the current IInputReceiver. The current IInputReceiver can receive keyboard input and has an ever-frame method raised for pricessing 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.

For a detailed discussion of using the InputReceiver property, see the IInputReceiver page.

Setting InputReceiver

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

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

Introduction

The InputManager is a class responsible for reading and reporting input from the keyboard, mouse, and gamepads. It is automatically initiated and updated by FlatRedBallServices so once the Initialization methods are called, the InputManager can be used.
