'Window Is Foreground?' help

[dhersey]

I'd read the help on Windows Conditional actions but I can't seem to get 'Window Is Foreground?' working.

Before I added this I had a basic file built that just sent the Up Arrow to a specific window (MainLobby) and this worked fine. I added the 'Window Is Foreground?' to the group, selected the window (again, MainLobby) using the Window Picker button.

In the conditional jumps I had the group selected for 'focus' and nothing for not focused.

Unfortunatly the Up Arrow worked regardless of the status of the app. After playing with it for a bit I could not find any combination of settings that would stop an event if the window is not in focus.

Any help would be great.

Post your GML so we can have a look.

Thanks for taking a look Ron.

Here is the file.

You had that one linked up incorrectly. Have a look at how it did it here.

Thanks Ron. I guess from the help file I got the impression that the condition was applied to the entire group rather than a single event.

I'll get cracking on this and will be using my remote after dinner ;)

You used an action instead of the conditional. The action actually offers better performance, so stick with that.
