focus

I have a typical render window which uses the sampleframework
when the render window loses focus it stops rendering
how can i change that?

solved switchig to Panda3d.... : -/

That is really and Ogre questions not a problem with the wrapper a search on the forum should reveal some helpful solutions. I believe its just how Ogre default window management works because Ogre default window handling is more geared toward full screen.

Are you running your own render loop? If you are you should still be able to force Ogre to update, but I maybe wrong.
