Userlib: Good keyboard text entry!

well since no one seemed to notice my plea for help, i guess i'll release it as it is.

this is a userlib for perfect keyboard text input, based on the dark basic Entry$() command. it works fine, except for the two problems described on the site.

you can read and download here: http://www.fivetwelve.dbspot.com/projects.htm

i hope someone finds use for this :)

sounds good for adventure games and the like, thanks dude!

What does it do that blitz cant usually do?

mainly key autorepeat. it sounds small but i miss it very much when i don't have it. it also seems to be more accurate than blitz functions, and since it uses a buffered input, it works better at low framerates than homemade blitz input functions.

Great...
I would like to use it for my GUI,
but is there a way to read the input of non-printable characters? Like the cursor-keys for example...
Or can You suggest a workaround?

Regarding the subclass error when the blitzapp aborts before you have released it.
Have you tried using the DllMain function in your dll and checked for a DLL_PROCESS_DETACH/DLL_THREAD_DETACH event?
Perhaps you could release the subclass that way.

i forgot about DllMain :) i will have to look into that. i'll post a new version if/when i fix it. it will probably also have control characters like abomination asked for :)
