#include </home/zeitlin/src/wx/github/interface/wx/kbdstate.h>
Provides methods for testing the state of the keyboard modifier keys.
This class is used as a base class of wxKeyEvent and wxMouseState and, hence, indirectly, of wxMouseEvent, so its methods may be used to get information about the modifier keys which were pressed when the event occurred.
This class is implemented entirely inline in <wx/kbdstate.h> and thus has no linking requirements.

Constructor initializes the modifier key settings.
By default, no modifiers are active.
bool wxKeyboardState::AltDown | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the Alt key is pressed.
Notice that GetModifiers() should usually be used instead of this one.
bool wxKeyboardState::CmdDown | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the key used for command accelerators is pressed.
Same as ControlDown(). Deprecated.
Notice that GetModifiers() should usually be used instead of this one.
bool wxKeyboardState::ControlDown | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the Control key or Apple/Command key under OS X is pressed.
This function doesn't distinguish between right and left control keys.
Notice that GetModifiers() should usually be used instead of this one.
int wxKeyboardState::GetModifiers | ( | ) | const |
Return the bit mask of all pressed modifier keys.
The return value is a combination of wxMOD_ALT
, wxMOD_CONTROL
, wxMOD_SHIFT
and wxMOD_META
bit masks. Additionally, wxMOD_NONE
is defined as 0, i.e. corresponds to no modifiers (see HasModifiers()) and wxMOD_CMD
is either wxMOD_CONTROL
(MSW and Unix) or wxMOD_META
(Mac), see CmdDown(). See wxKeyModifier for the full list of modifiers.
Notice that this function is easier to use correctly than, for example, ControlDown() because when using the latter you also have to remember to test that none of the other modifiers is pressed:
if ( ControlDown() && !AltDown() && !ShiftDown() && !MetaDown() ) ... handle Ctrl-XXX ...
and forgetting to do it can result in serious program bugs (e.g. program not working with European keyboard layout where AltGr
key which is seen by the program as combination of CTRL and ALT is used). On the other hand, you can simply write:
if ( GetModifiers() == wxMOD_CONTROL ) ... handle Ctrl-XXX ...
with this function.
bool wxKeyboardState::HasModifiers | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if any modifiers at all are pressed.
This is equivalent to GetModifiers()
!=
wxMOD_NONE
.
bool wxKeyboardState::MetaDown | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the Meta/Windows/Apple key is pressed.
This function tests the state of the key traditionally called Meta under Unix systems, Windows keys under MSW Notice that GetModifiers() should usually be used instead of this one.
Reimplemented in wxMouseEvent.
bool wxKeyboardState::RawControlDown | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the Control key (also under OS X).
This function doesn't distinguish between right and left control keys.
Notice that GetModifiers() should usually be used instead of this one.
void wxKeyboardState::SetAltDown | ( | bool | down | ) |
void wxKeyboardState::SetControlDown | ( | bool | down | ) |
void wxKeyboardState::SetMetaDown | ( | bool | down | ) |
void wxKeyboardState::SetRawControlDown | ( | bool | down | ) |
void wxKeyboardState::SetShiftDown | ( | bool | down | ) |
bool wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown | ( | ) | const |
Returns true if the Shift key is pressed.
This function doesn't distinguish between right and left shift keys.
Notice that GetModifiers() should usually be used instead of this one.
