Forget about default textbox restrictions, you can create sprites atop of the textbox

I'm making some kind of text parser, and i'm having this stupid problem <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

I have figured out that Construct 2 is not activating Keyboard events while Textbox is focused (while i'm typing). Is there any way to change this or to make some kind of workaround? Anybody got similar experience with this?

It's crude, but you could add an event that unfocus the textbox every tick, and add another one that focus it on any keypress.
