vizinput disables keyboard?

OK another weird one... We are finding that after a script executes vizinput.choose (or vizinput.input), the keyboard is disabled so that any keydown events (including ESC) don't get detected. For example, the following code works just fine until the commented line is un-commented:

Code:

import vizinput

import viz

import vizshape

import vizact



def setVisibility(blah):

        theball.visible(blah)



viz.go()



#vizinput.choose('blah', ['fsdg','sd'])

theball = vizshape.addCircle()

theball.setPosition(0,0,4)

vizact.onkeydown('n', setVisibility, viz.TOGGLE)

no clue how to solve this one.. :eek:

The vizinput dialogs create a blocking action which will halt rendering and events. If you want the user to make selections while the script runs normally you can use one of Vizard's other GUI libraries. Does this work for you?

Code:

import vizinfo

import viz

import vizshape



viz.go()



info = vizinfo.InfoPanel('Press n to toggle visibility of the ball')

dropdown = info.addLabelItem('blah',viz.addDropList())

dropdown.addItems(['fsdg','sd'])



theball = vizshape.addCircle(pos=[0,1.5,5])

vizact.onkeydown('n', theball.visible, viz.TOGGLE)
