Title: Problem with keyboard and multithreading
Post by: YarUnderoaker on January 29, 2011, 12:03:32 am

In my application I create windows in second thread and hide it.

Code: [Select]

 FWindow := TForm.CreateNew(Application);
  FWindow.Hide;
  FWindow.Position := poScreenCenter;
  FWindow.Width := 1;
  FWindow.Height := 1;
  FWindow.BorderStyle := bsNone;
  FWindow.FormStyle := fsStayOnTop;
  FWindow.Color := 0; As usually thread is sleeping.

Then automatically create a normal form, nothing special. But event OnFormKeyDown take me a strange value of key. For some keys it 255. Also GetKeyState return same value.
When I turn off thread everything is fine.

Lazarus 0.9.29 FPC 2.4.2 via GTK2 Ubuntu 10.4 AMD64

Please help.

Find interesting article http://blogs.operationaldynamics.com/andrew/software/gnome-desktop/gtk-thread-awareness.html
but what to do, I do not know.
May be need tell GTK to do not tracking keyboard for this window, but how can I do this  :-\
