I'm using a very nice c library called fakekey, which is part of the matchbox project to handle the input. I wrapped that up with SWIG.
Wrt to the focus, clicking a key on the keyboard currently switches focus to the keyboard. Rendering the whole thing useless. I'm hoping there is an easy fix for this. On 26/05/06, Sven Jaborek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
