FME_KEYDOWN
Description
- FME_KEYDOWN event is triggered when the user presses a keyboard button.
- The n value of the events contains the VK code of the pressed key.
- To activate the FME_KEYDOWN event you need use "Dialog: keyevents" or setDialogEvent(4) in your code.
- If you want to check for mouse buttons, Shift, Ctrl, Alt etc. you need to use getAsyncKeyState() or getAsyncKeyStateF().
- This event is only triggered once per keypress; it is not triggered again if you hold the key.
Example
%ffp
Dialog: keyevents
OnCtl(n): {
if (e == FME_KEYDOWN) {
Info("You just pressed key %d", n);
}
return false;
}
