NAME

VObject::DoKeyCommand - instance method

TEMPLATE

commandToPerform = Command * DoKeyCommand(int keyCode, Point locatorPoint, Token inputToken)

SPECIFIERS

public virtual

DESCRIPTION

DoKeyCommand is called by the method DispatchEvents on normal ASCII key events. By default, the event is passed to the next event handler. If there is no next handler gNoChanges is returned. Method is sometimes overridden.

ARGUMENTS

int keyCode: contains the code of the pressed key which is a copy of inputToken.Code. Modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl or Meta) pressed together with the key have already been taken into account.
For example, if Shift and 'a' have been pressed then keyCode contains 'A'. If the Meta key is pressed then the key code is always incremented by 128 which allows to enter non-ASCII characters that are normally not accessible from a keyboard. If Meta and/or Ctrl have been pressed then the original code can be found out with the inputToken and the method Token::MapToAscii.
Point locatorPoint: see method DispatchEvents
Token inputToken: see method DispatchEvents

RETURN ARGUMENT

Command * commandToPerform: see method DispatchEvents
