Title: MaLa Allows Game Scrolling While Showing Control Panel Viewer
Post by: jasonbar on March 13, 2010, 12:32:23 pm
Howdy Loadman!

I've got a question (feature request?) for you!   ;D

I have MaLa set to show CPWizard when launching a game, as such:

1 in MaLa, scroll to desired game with dial (or mouse)

2 in MaLa, hit "1" to launch game

3 MaLa shows CPWizard so I know what controls do what

4 I have CPWizard set to exit and proceed to game launch when pressing any key.  BUT!!!  At this moment, the mouse (dial) is still active & I can accidentally hit the dial & hear MaLa "click" over to the next game in the list, and then when I exit CPWizard to launch the game, it launches a different game, because the MaLa menu has scrolled while I was looking @ CPWizard.


This is sometimes bothersome because:

a) I have my dial set to spin the menu fast (I have a looong menu), so it doesn't take too much dial spin to flip to the next game

b) Guests can be spazzes

c) Sometimes I'm on the cusp of scrolling to the next game in the menu & it doesn't take much to click over to the next game.



So, is there some easy way to disable the mouse when CPWizard is showing?   ;D


Thanks!
-Jason

I had a quick look at the code and that should be pretty easy.

Please remind me after I release the next beta.
