activate mouse cursor after dialog prompt?

[Glen348]

how can i get the dialog window to activate the mouse cursor after confirming delete?

local confirmDeleteDialog = {
    title = { text = GetString(SI_B1UI_DELETEBUTTON_TITLE)},
    mainText = { text = GetString(SI_B1UI_DELETEBUTTON_MAINTEXT)},
    buttons = {
            [1]={ 
                text = GetString(SI_B1UI_YES_LABEL),
                callback = function()
                    B1UI.DeletePage()
                end,
                },
            [2]={
                text = GetString(SI_B1UI_NO_LABEL)
                }
            }
}

I think this is what you mean? Use:

SetGameCameraUIMode(true)

local confirmDeleteDialog = {
    title = { text = GetString(SI_B1UI_DELETEBUTTON_TITLE)},
    mainText = { text = GetString(SI_B1UI_DELETEBUTTON_MAINTEXT)},
    buttons = {
            [1]={ 
                text = GetString(SI_B1UI_YES_LABEL),
                callback = function()
                    B1UI.DeletePage()
                    SetGameCameraUIMode(true)
                end,
                },
            [2]={
                text = GetString(SI_B1UI_NO_LABEL)
                }
            }
}

Oh, the code is running to fast and its setting the GameCameraUIMode to true, before the dialog box sets it to false when it finishes closing. The easiest way would be to just delay the call like this:

{ text = GetString(SI_B1UI_YES_LABEL), callback = function()
        B1UIDeletePage()    
        zo_callLater(function() SetGameCameraUIMode(true) end, 10)    
    end
},

Or if, it looks like you need to do this in several places, you could just create a function to force the game to stay in mouse cursor mode.

local function CameraChanged()
    if not IsPlayerActivated() then return end
    
    if FREE_MOUSE then
        SetGameCameraUIMode(FREE_MOUSE)
    end
end
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(ADDON_NAME, EVENT_GAME_CAMERA_DEACTIVATED, CameraChanged)
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(ADDON_NAME, EVENT_GAME_CAMERA_UI_MODE_CHANGED, CameraChanged)

Then whenever they open your notebook set FREE_MOUSE = true and when they close it set it back to false. That will force the game to stay in mouse cursor mode although this would also prevent users from being able to hit the "." key to exit mouse cursor mode, so...actually that may not be a good idea.

It looks nice, good work!

I recently got some odd behavior when using SetGameCameraUIMode().

If you click on a control and then immediately call SetGameCameraUIMode(false) the action bar buttons and mouse buttons stop working. Only hiting [ESC] or [Enter] fixes the problem. Did i miss sth. or is it simply bugged?

[Ayantir]

I would perosnnaly avoid using this function and use the SCENE_MANAGER, it's a little bit complicated at the begenning but so bugless at the end ..

Now this thing is really nice! Thx for pointing me at it!

/edit: Ran into another set of problems when using ZO_SceneManager:ShowScene(obj scene)... It properly shows the scene but the .-key is deactivated now... I am afraid the user has to cope with having to activate the curser manually

[Baertram]

I got exactly this behaviour after I answer a whsiper message. It's not always there but very often. The edit box still got focus bo no key is accepted anymore to switch back to another focus (even ESC is not working).
Pressing the RETURN key will just send the next messages and using other keys will just write a mesage in the whisper chat.

I have to ALT+TAB out of the game, or use the windows key, and get back into the game to be able to press some key again.

Didn't find out what addon is causing this so far... Maybe several addons in combination.

This sounds pretty nasty. Is the repro just to reply to a whisper?

[Baertram]

Yep, it only happens if I try to answer to a whisper message.
I'm not using the keybind to answer to a whisper message, but I manually change to my wsiper chat tab (got an own tab for whisper messages) and put the cursor into the text edit box (by pressing the RETURN key or manually clicking with the mouse into it).
After I've pressed RETURN again to send my mesage I'm trapped in that text edit box.

But it might be related to addons so I'll have to check if it happens without addons too!
