MapRawKey -- Decode single raw key input event to an ANSI
string. (V36)
actual = MapRawKey(event, buffer, length, keyMap)
D0 A0 A1 D1 A2
WORD MapRawKey( struct InputEvent *, STRPTR, WORD,
struct Keymap * );
This console function converts input events of type
IECLASS_RAWKEY to ANSI bytes, based on the keyMap, and
places the result into the buffer.
event - an InputEvent structure pointer. The event list is
not traversed.
buffer - a byte buffer large enough to hold all anticipated
characters generated by this conversion.
length - maximum anticipation, i.e. the buffer size in bytes.
keyMap - a KeyMap structure pointer, or null if the default
key map is to be used.
actual - the number of characters in the buffer, or -1 if
a buffer overflow was about to occur.
...
#define BUFFERLEN 80 /* length of longest expected mapping /*
char buffer[BUFFERLEN];
struct InputEvent ie;
...
KeymapBase = OpenLibrary("keymap.library", 0);
...
ie.ie_Class = IECLASS_RAWKEY;
ie.ie_SubClass = 0;
for (;;) {
WaitPort(window->UserPort);
while (im = (struct IntuiMessage *) GetMsg(window->UserPort)) {
switch (im->Class) {
case RAWKEY:
ie.ie_Code = im->Code;
ie.ie_Qualifier = im->Qualifier;
/* recover dead key codes & qualifiers */
ie.ie_EventAddress = (APTR *) *((ULONG *)im->IAddress);
actual = MapRawKey(&ie, buffer, BUFFERLEN, 0);
for (i = 0; i < actual; i++)
ReportChar(buffer[i]);
break;
...
}
...
}
}
ERRORS
if actual is -1, a buffer overflow condition was detected.
Not all of the characters in the buffer are valid.
