Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — adding input support

Again, we use the previous code and add the necessary additions to get input support:

1. We need to add a new parameter to the constructor of our listener. We need a pointer to the render window that Ogre 3D uses to render. To add the new parameter, the code should look like this:

   Example27FrameListener(Ogre::SceneNode* node,RenderWindow* win)
   

2. When changing the constructor, we also need to change the instantiation:

   Ogre::FrameListener* FrameListener = new Example27FrameListener(_SinbadNode,mWindow);
   

3. After this, we need to add code into the constructor of the listener. First, we need two helper variables:

   size_t windowHnd = 0;
   std::stringstream windowHndStr;
   

4. Now ask Ogre 3D for the window handle it renders to:
