MapInputEventToClientEvent + Text Fields

[MSFS 2024] Bug Reports SimConnect

1

Version: SU4 Beta (1.6.7.0)

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Context: With all events registered with “SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent_EX1“

Bug description: When a text field is selected in the UI or when the keyboard is being used to input ICAOs in any GPS/FMS/CDU unit, keystroke events registered through MapInputEventToClientEvent are still triggered. Maybe I didn’t find it but as far as I know, there is no way to know if a text field is selected currently so we don’t know if we should listen to the incoming event or not.

The best (and easiest solution) would be for a SimVar or global var in JS to let us know if the user’s keyboard is currently being used to input text. I do believe there are edge cases that would require those events regardless of text input.

Same applies to the CJ4 text box. There’s no way to track and ignore these text boxes. I asked for an Lvar to control it back in 2023 and was rubbed off with WT has “no plans to change it”.:+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
