I am trying to do program that can be driven by keyboards as well as by
mouse, using line commands. For example suppose that you want to draw a
line on a canvas object. With the mouse you pick your first point and
then moving it draw that line.
Well, my goal is to do the same thing using a "command line" input
as:
Line(0,0)-(x,y)
The initial problem that i found is that every key i press a KeyPress
event is sent to the callback, loosing previous data!
Thinking and Reading ......
I has found another way to take into account KeyPress Events.
I make this as follows:
--------- cut here ----
[...]
FL_OBJECT *canvas;
fl_add_canvas_handler( canvas, KeyPress, key_press_handler, data );
[...]
int des_canvas_key(FL_OBJECT *obj,Window win, int w, int h,
XEvent *xev, void *d)
[...]
KeySym keysym;
XComposeStatus compose;
int bufsize = MAX_COMMAND_LENGHT;
char buffer[MAX_COMMAND_LENGHT+1];
int count;
count = XLookupString(xev, buffer,bufsize,&keysym,&compose);
buffer[count] = '\n';
/* handle the string in buffer */
--------- cut here --------
As you see I don't use :
fl_addto_selected_xevent( FL_ObjWin( canvas ), KeyPressMask );
and I use the X command XLookupString to fill "buffer" of array of
characters. From XLookupString the program exit when is found a carriage
return or buffer is full.
