We have used the Performer GUI functions in most of our Vega
applications. Are you letting Vega get the mouse and keyboard inputs.
If so then you need to map the results from vgGetWinKey, vgGetWinEvent
and vgGetMouse into a pfuEventStream and pfuMouse so that the GUI can
use them.

Alternatively you can get Performer to read the keyboard and mouse
(pfuCollectInput if I remember correctly), but I think you will need
to be careful where you do it.

Regards.

Mark.
