VST Plugin Still Not Getting Keystrokes

[JuceProspector]

This is an old but apparently still unsolved problem. In certain VST Hosts -- e.g. Cubase on Windows -- Juce labels and text editors do not receive keystrokes because the keystrokes are intercepted by the host sequencer. With some other dev toolkits -- e.g. VSTGUI -- this is not a problem. This implies that there is a solution that could be incorporated in Juce. This has been discussed in various threads in this forum for a number of years but apparently the problem persists. What is the status?

[red_muze]

there was some kind of solution that was mentioned on the closed thread, but i am not sure if it works or not, that had to do with adding the Cubase key strokes to the vst wrapper. did anyone find a defect with this solution?

[JuceProspector]

The Cubase keywords are easily changed (added to or deleted) by the Cubase user so adding a list in the VST Wrapper would not be a very robust solution. I believe the keyboard focus issue needs to be resolved at the OS level. It already works on Mac OSX and VSTGUI is able to capture focus on Windows so there must be a solution.

[Jakob]

Yeah, this kept us busy for several work days to solve. This is the solution we came up with, do not know if this is the optimal solution, but it works for us. Also thanks a lot for all the posts in viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1662&start=30

Some extra code for Sonar, as Sonar passes keystrokes to the plugins.

First of all, in your <AudioProcessorEditor>, we added this:

Code: Select all

  // Request keyboard focus here, so that text fields do not get them automatically.
  setWantsKeyboardFocus(true);

Thanks so much for this. I will test it ASAP. I'm hoping that if this approach works then Jules will include it in the main release. There are a number of classes that either inherit from or aggregate TextEditor -- e.g. Label and Slider via Label -- so it becomes kind of a mess to reintegrate these kind of changes on every new Juce release.

[steffen]

to avoid subclassing, we placed all the stuff required for keyboard focus in a combined MouseListener/TextEditorListener.

When creating the PluginEditor, the host type is checked, and the listeners are added to all TextEditors in the component hierarchy. What I like about that approach is that you don't change the functionality if the same components are used in a standalone application. What I don't like is that you need to manually add it for all components created *after* initialization of the PluginEditor (unless they are in a modal dialog which seems to work fine).

Here's our implementation of such a listener. There's an ugly work around because textEditorFocusLost was called twice (at least in ableton live on win) and for some reason the editor couldn't be removed from the desktop in the first call.

Code: Select all

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    class KeyboardFocusWorkaroundListener : public MouseListener,
                                            public TextEditorListener

            : m_pTextEditor(pTextEditor),
              m_bRemoveWhenLosingFocus(false),
              m_pOriginalParent(0),
              m_bIsOnDesktop(false)
        {

        }

        void mouseDown(const MouseEvent& e)
        {   
            addEditorToDesktop();
        }

        {

        }

        virtual void textEditorTextChanged (TextEditor& editor)       { }
        virtual void textEditorReturnKeyPressed (TextEditor& editor)
        {
            removeEditorFromDesktop();
        }
        virtual void textEditorEscapeKeyPressed (TextEditor& editor)
        {
            removeEditorFromDesktop();
        }

        {
            if (m_bRemoveWhenLosingFocus)
            {

            }
            else
            {
                m_bRemoveWhenLosingFocus = true;
            }
        }

        juce_UseDebuggingNewOperator

    protected:

        void addEditorToDesktop()
        {
            if (m_bIsOnDesktop) return;

            m_originalBounds = m_pTextEditor->getBounds();
            m_pOriginalParent = m_pTextEditor->getParentComponent();
           
            m_bRemoveWhenLosingFocus = false;

            m_pTextEditor->addToDesktop(ComponentPeer::windowIsTemporary);
            m_pTextEditor->grabKeyboardFocus();

            m_bIsOnDesktop = true;
        }

        void removeEditorFromDesktop()
        {
            if (!m_bIsOnDesktop) return;

            m_pTextEditor->removeFromDesktop();

            if (m_pOriginalParent != 0)
            {
                m_pOriginalParent->addChildComponent(m_pTextEditor);
            }

            m_pTextEditor->setBounds(m_originalBounds);

            m_bIsOnDesktop = false;
        }

    private:

        bool m_bIsOnDesktop;
        bool m_bRemoveWhenLosingFocus;

        Rectangle<int> m_originalBounds;
        Component* m_pOriginalParent;

        TextEditor* m_pTextEditor;

    };


If you're worried about subclassing, it might be worth going this way (but Jakob's is probably better tested, we didn't test much with Sonar). If you come up with something that combines both approaches, I'd be happy to test it in ableton live on win/osx.

Hi all,
Based on the code zamrate wrote few years ago (see an older thread about this problem), I wrote a class called MySliderLabel that I use to edit the value of my slider.
TheText Editor is actually a modal window so it REALLY gets the focus on the keyboard and loses it as soon as the user presses enter, escape or clicks elsewhere.
edit() is called from the ShowTextBox function of my slider.
Hope this will help some of you.
Cheers
Raph

I can't find ShowTextBox in Label class.Did you write it on your own?

[zamrate]

It's rather unbelievable that this question comes up ever again, when I've posted a solution, which worked, but for mysterious reasons never made its way into JUCE. Link: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1662&hilit=keystrokes&start=60 Check out the bottom of page 4 (last code I posted).

[Shlomi]

Hi Zamrate.

I really like your solution cause it's not intrusive like other solutions suggested here (like adding components to the desktop upon focus gain).
Though I can't get the control modifier working in your solution, so I can't use it for now.

What I did was to add the entire component of my application to the desktop on focus gain/ mouse enter.

I just tried your patch, and keyboard input indeed works perfectly in Live 8.2.1, but there is still trouble in Cubase 6 (32bit).

Many keys work well (numbers, letters, space, backspace, cursors, shift) but others don't: commas and the period key and the whole number block (which is weird because it looks like its keys are explicitly mapped in your code).

I'd like to get rid of the focus/desktop workarounds, but being able to enter decimal separators is an absolute must for those text fields.

Any ideas wants going wrong here? Maybe it makes a difference that I am using a German keyboard layout?

[zamrate]

Dunno, isn't Cubase maybe just blocking these keys?

[steffen]

I just stepped into it, and there seem to be two differences between Cubase 6 and Live 8 in the calls to your convertVstKeyInputToKeyCodeAndTextCharacter

- For the keys on the keypad, in Live the 'index' is != 0 so they are treated as ascii. In Cubase 6 however, 'index' is 0 and 'value' equals of the VKEY_ constants instead - no matter if num-lock is active or not. Because 'textCharacter' is never set in that case, the TextEditor won't treat it as text input later. A possible workaround (if you don't need cursor movement with the keypad) seems to be to additionally set textCharacter to the character that corresponds to the key.

- the situation for the regular +-., keys is worse. In Cubase 6, you do get an effEditKeyDown event, bot both 'index' and 'value' are 0. So there doesn't seem to be chance at all at distinguishing these keys.

HI all,

200gaga:

I can't find ShowTextBox in Label class.Did you write it on your own?

ShowTextBox is in the Slider class and is called to create and make visible the textbox.

Shlomi :

Though I can't get the control modifier working in your solution, so I can't use it for now.

I did a little improvement of the zamrate patch in juce_VST_wrapper.cpp to make modifier keys work in Cubase. Check it out:

Code: Select all

void convertVstKeyInputToKeyCodeAndTextCharacter(int opCode, int value, int index, int &keyCode, int &textCharacter, int &modifierKey)
{
   keyCode=0;
   textCharacter=0;
   modifierKey = 0;


   if (opCode==effEditKeyDown)
   {

      if (value == VKEY_CONTROL || value == VKEY_SHIFT || value == VKEY_ALT)
      {
         modifierKey = value;
         return;
      }

       for (int i=0; i<sizeof(vstVirtualKeyCodeConversionTable)/(2*sizeof(int));i++)
       {
            if (value==vstVirtualKeyCodeConversionTable[i*2])
            {
               keyCode=vstVirtualKeyCodeConversionTable[i*2+1];
               break;
            }
       }       
     
      textCharacter=index; // ascii
   }
}


and in the dispatcher:

Code: Select all

     if (opCode == effEditKeyDown || opCode == effEditKeyUp)
      {
         
#if JUCE_WIN32
         if (editorComp!=0)
         {
            int keyCode, textCharacter;
            int modifierKey;
            convertVstKeyInputToKeyCodeAndTextCharacter(opCode, value, index, keyCode, textCharacter, modifierKey);

            ComponentPeer *peer=editorComp->getPeer();
            if (peer!=0)
         {
            if (keyCode!=0 || textCharacter!=0)
            {   
               return peer->handleKeyPress (keyCode, textCharacter);
            }

            if (modifierKey)
            {
               int keyMods = 0;
   
               if (modifierKey == VKEY_CONTROL)   keyMods |= ModifierKeys::ctrlModifier;
               if (modifierKey == VKEY_SHIFT)      keyMods |= ModifierKeys::shiftModifier;
               if (modifierKey == VKEY_ALT)      keyMods |= ModifierKeys::altModifier;

               ModifierKeys::getCurrentModifiers().withFlags (keyMods);
            }
         }
            return 0;
         }
#endif


I use both methods in my code, the first one is just text boxes, whereas I use the second one for overall keyboard shortcuts, and I'm happy with it.

[andrewsimper]

The solution posted by RiphRaph is the best way to solve this. I have a slightly more basic version which is called a PopupTextEditor, which I think really should be integrated into the main TextEditor code since this comes up over and over again. It would be much more preferable for plugins that they just set a property on the slider text editor saying it should popup in a new window, then vanish again once enter / escape / lost focus. You can even specialise what is below to pull the formatting directly from the label / text editor of the slider.
