Hi, I am developing a VSTi plugin which requires keyboard input.

For some reason, my plugin window callback function does not receive WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP messages when running in Live (6.0.7) on Vista or XP and when my plugin is the active window with focus. Instead, Live seems to handle all keystrokes itself and filter them out before they get to the plugin.

Is this by design? Is there any workaround for this problem that you recommend?

BTW, the mac OSX version of Live 6 does pass the keystrokes to the plugin, so no problem there.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,

I guess you'll be more lucky writing to [email protected], they will direct you to the right person for that matter.
