Eventmachine talk - Nov 2007 - open_keyboard

I''m developing a network client app that requires some user
interaction,
so I''m trying to use EM::open_keyboard to get keyboard input. My
observation is that using open_keyboard seems to interfere with the
network communication.

Here is roughly what I have:

    EM::run {
      # Open network connection to server.
      @conn = EM::connect( addr, port, Client )
      @conn.odin_init( foo )
      @conn.send_data( bar )

      # Open a connection to get keyboard input.
      EM::open_keyboard( Keyboard )
    }

...

  # Keyboard input.
  class Keyboard < EM::Connection
    def receive_data( bs )
      puts "keyboard: #{bs.inspect}"
    end
  end # class Keyboard

  # Client connection.
  class Client < EM::Connection
    .. blah blah blah ..
  end

As shown, the data ("bar") does not get sent to the server. If I
comment
out the EM::open_keyboard call, it works fine. Is there something
obviously wrong with what I''m doing?

Thanks,
Mark Z.

Are you using Windows or Linux/Mac/Unix?

Windows.

I thought so. At the moment there are some problems with open_keyboard
on Windows because of the way Windows handles the keyboard.
