The plugin doesn't receive PF_Event_KEYDOWN in some cases

Hey everyone,

 

I noticed that After Effects plugin doesn't receive keyboard events if it is selected in Effects Controls window. The plugin does receive events if it is selected in the Timeline window or the Composition window (video preview) is selected.

Is there any solution to receive keyboard events when the plugin is selected in Effects Controls window?

Thanks,

Roman

i vaguely remember running into this issue years ago. if memory serves, i think the reason was that i had to have an ECW custom UI exposed to receive keyboard evetns.

i.e. at least one param with an ECW custom UI needs to be untwirled. (not twirled up in itself or it's containing topics)

 

but that's only what i vaguely remember...

Thank you for the tip. I added an invisible ARB parameter with custom UI and it fixed the problem.
