Module message_loop

The message_loop module provides a way to retreive keyboard and mouse input messages directly from the system.

Internally, a message-only window is created to receive the messages.

Examples

use winput::{Vk, Action};
use winput::message_loop;

let receiver = message_loop::start().unwrap();

loop {
    match receiver.next_event() {
        message_loop::Event::Keyboard {
            vk,
            action: Action::Press,
            ..
        } => {
            if vk == Vk::Escape {
                break;
            } else {
                println!("{:?} was pressed!", vk);
            }
        },
        _ => (),
    }
}

Structs
