SDL 2 - keyboard focus on Windows 8.1 PC

Hi,

Using SDL2-widgets together with SDL 2.0.4 I can't get any keyboard events.

Assuming this is a focus problem I tried constructing XAML controls as swapChainPanel children that stretched over its entire area, or the other way around, make the swapChainPanel a child. No matter what configuration, the application behaves exactly the same, and gets only mouse events.


What could be the problem and what could I have missed about using SDL2 on Windows 8.1?


Thanks

Is it a problem specific to your widget library? Do the SDL test programs have any issues? I haven't heard of missing keyboard input on any platform.

Do you know which port of SDL you are using? Two exist for Windows: Win32 (for writing "desktop" apps, and apps that are compatible with pre-Win 8.x versions of Windows), and WinRT (for Windows Store apps).

It's the WinRT one. When I get access to the Windows machine I'll check
the SDL test programs.

Thanks
