Subject: Key XFCNs V2.0
Key XFCNs V2.0 (replaces Key XFCNs V1.0 and the ControlKey XFCN)
New in this version:
xfcns and xcmds for PowerMacs added.
This HyperCard stack contains four XFCNs and one XCMD, all related to
key events.
The ControlKey XFCN, that came in a separate stack before, is now
included in this file.
controlKey()
returns "down" if the control key is pressed, "up" otherwise.
keyIsDown (
returns true if the specified key is pressed. With -1 as key code,
the XFCN
returns true if at least one key ist pressed, false if no key is
pressed.
virtualKeyCode ()
returns a comma delimited list of the virtual key codes of all
currently
pressed keys.
charKeyCode (["m[odifiers]"])
returns the character of the currently pressed key. If "modifiers" is
specified, the function returns them too. If command-option-x is
pressed, the function returns the string "cmd opt x".
flushKeyEvents
removes keyDown, keyUp, and autoKey events from the OS event queue.
Requirements:
This stack needs at least System 7.1 and HyperCard 2.2
