Check if an event was consumed by Slab?

[Voycawojka]

Is there a way to check if an event (for example a mouse press) was consumed/handled by Slab? Let's say that players can select units by clicking on them with a mouse. What if a Slab window is occluding the unit? If I handle the selection like this:

function love.mousepressed(x, y)
   selectUnit(x, y)
end

...then the unit will be selected even though the player pressed on the UI window, not on the unit.

From what I understand by looking at the source code it's impossible to handle this case properly. But maybe I'm missing something?

I have found that I can use IsVoidHovered and IsVoidClicked functions but there still are two problems:

• it seems I need to use them in update so I can't handle inputs with events
• they don't solve the problem for keyboard (is the player pressing 'A' because they want to go right or are they typing in a Slab input?)

Is there another way?

Hi, due to the nature of immediate mode GUIs (ImGUI) such as Slab, it will be difficult to rely on callbacks/events like mousepressed. What you can do, and what I did in my projects before, is you handle the IsVoidClicked and IsVoidHovered in your update, store the results in a variable, and use that in your callbacks. For the keyboard, you can do the same but use this event to check if a slab input is focused or not

Thanks, this is what I ended up doing. And the focus checking function is helpful. I must have missed it
