Gvim in a custom display host

["kim aldis" <xsi(at)kim-aldis.co.uk>]

I’ve made some headway with this; compiled, built and I can get a Gvim to appear more or less correctly in my CDH. I have a couple of problems that I’m still beating against and I’m wondering if anyone here might be able to help me out.

 

·         The Gvim in the CDH window won’t accept any keyboard input or mouse clicks. Icons across the top depress when clicked and I get a vim context menu when I right click in the view but nothing else happens. It’s almost as if keyboard and mouse events are being intercepted and chucked down a hole.

·         XSI is still working fine if I use menu options but key press shortcuts don’t do much at all, they just get ignored.

·         XSI dies spectacularly if I try to change views in any of the viewports.

·         Gvim has a set of icons across the top of its view as well as a list of menus. The icons are blank, although there is something there. I can find an idl file that looks like it may hold information about these but VS fails to compile(?) them. There’s a couple of resource files too but they don’t have anything that appears relevant in them. There are no bitmaps for the icons with the source that I can see.

 

I’m where I am now mostly from guesswork, I’m not that familiar with Windows programming so it’s entirely possible I’m doing something spectacularly daft. Any help or thoughts anyone might have would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks.
