PYGLET – Setting Exclusive Keyboard for Window
In this article we will see how we can set exclusive keyboard for the window in PYGLET module in python. Pyglet is easy to use but powerful library for developing visually rich GUI applications like games, multimedia etc. A window is a “heavyweight” object occupying operating system resources. Windows may appear as floating regions or can be set to fill an entire screen (fullscreen). Exclusive keyboard prevent the user from switching away from this window using keyboard accelerators. When enabled, this feature disables certain operating-system specific key combinations such as Alt+Tab (Command+Tab on OS X). This can be useful in certain kiosk applications, it should be avoided in general applications or games.
We can create a window with the help of command given below
pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title)
In order to create window we use
set_exclusive_keyboard
method with the window objectSyntax : window.set_exclusive_keyboard(True)
Argument : It takes bool as argument
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing pyglet module import pyglet import pyglet.window.key # width of window width = 500 # height of window height = 500 # caption i.e title of the window title = "w3wiki" # creating a window window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title) # text text = "w3wiki" # creating a label with font = times roman # font size = 36 # aligning it to the centre label = pyglet.text.Label(text, font_name = 'Times New Roman' , font_size = 36 , x = window.width / / 2 , y = window.height / / 2 , anchor_x = 'center' , anchor_y = 'center' ) # on draw event @window .event def on_draw(): # clearing the window window.clear() # drawing the label on the window label.draw() # key press event @window .event def on_key_press(symbol, modifier): # key "C" get press if symbol = = pyglet.window.key.C: # close the window window.close() # setting exclusive keyboard window.set_exclusive_keyboard( True ) # start running the application pyglet.app.run() |
