Re: How can I get input using SDL without this strange edit box popping up
@keithwipf1, I have not used SDL, but hopefully there is a way you can get the character inputs for your menus without rendering a textbox.
Windows actually sends WM_KEYDOWN, WM_CHAR, and WM_KEYUP messages.
The WM_CHAR messages give you the UTF16 character that was produced by the keyboard, taking into account whether shift was held, caps lock was on, and any OS keyboard layout or language settings that may affect it.
I see that this page talks about getting the UTF16 unicode value from the SDL_keysym.unicode field:

It looks to be documentation for an older version of SDL. Hopefully it still works in your version.
