Hello ...

In my dialog plugin ...
I want to make a calculation when the user is entering data into a textbox ...
So I try to know when the user is pressing the keys to enter data ... but I can't ...
I can only know when the user input is done and the focus is moved to another textbox ... I hope you see what I mean ...
In the otherwords ...
I want to do some process for KEYDOWN event ...
But I can only make it in LOSTFOCUS event ...

How can I solve it ...?
Or is that simply what we can't in C4D?

Wishing you'll do me a favor ...

you could try to the pressed keys within Message

  
LONG AsyncDialog::Message(const BaseContainer &msg;,BaseContainer &result;)  
{  
     switch (msg.GetId())  
     {  
          case BFM_INPUT:  
               if(msg.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_DEVICE) == BFM_INPUT_KEYBOARD)  
               {  
                    String input = msg.GetString(BFM_INPUT_ASC);  
                    GePrint(input);  
               }  
               break;  
     }  
     return GeDialog::Message(msg,result);  
}

Thank you Matthias ...
I tried it and this is what I found out ...

The following code segment always shows 1 and 4 in console ...

///////
LONG dlgMine::Message(const BaseContainer& msg, BaseContainer& result)
{
     GePrint("1");
    switch (msg.GetId())
    {
          GePrint("2");
     case BFM_INPUT:
          if(msg.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_DEVICE) == BFM_INPUT_KEYBOARD)
        {
               GePrint("3");
               String input = msg.GetString(BFM_INPUT_ASC);
             GePrint(input);
        }
        break;
    }
     GePrint("4");
     return GeDialog::Message(msg,result);
}
///////

So I doubt that msg.GetId() is always returning 0 ...
So I tried this below ...

///////

LONG dlgMine::Message(const BaseContainer& msg, BaseContainer& result)
{
     GePrint(LongToString(msg.GetId()));
    switch(msg.GetId())
    {
     case BFM_INPUT:
          if(msg.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_DEVICE) == BFM_INPUT_KEYBOARD)
        {
               String input = msg.GetString(BFM_INPUT_ASC);
        }
        break;
    }
     return GeDialog::Message(msg,result);
}
///////

But this time ... console is showing a very large numbers (like 1667853926,1668846437) all the time ... So they are not surely 0s ...
So why aren't the code lines in switch are not running ...?
I'm a little confusing ...
Thank you for code segment ...
It makes me curious about C4D a lot !!!

Wishing you all the best ... especially the happiness ...
