Constructor Detail

UserEvent

public UserEvent(Object source,
                 int family,
                 int type,
                 int code,
                 int modifiers,
                 long when)

Constructor for a new UserEvent object representing a key being pressed.

Parameters:

source - the EventManager which is the source of the event

family - the event family.

type - the event type. Either one of KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED.

code - the event code. One of the constants whose name begins in "VK_" defined in java.awt.event.KeyEvent or org.havi.ui.event.HRcEvent.

modifiers - the modifiers active when the key was pressed. These have the same semantics as modifiers in java.awt.event.KeyEvent.

when - a long integer that specifies the time the event occurred

UserEvent

public UserEvent(Object source,
                 int family,
                 char keyChar,
                 long when)

Constructor for a new UserEvent object representing a key being typed. This is the combination of a key being pressed and then being released. The type of UserEvents created with this constructor shall be KEY_TYPED. Key combinations which do not result in characters, such as keys like the red key on a remote control, shall not generate KEY_TYPED events. KEY_TYPED events shall have no modifiers and hence shall not report any modifiers as being down.

Parameters:

source - the EventManager which is the source of the event

family - the event family.

keyChar - the character typed

when - a long integer that specifies the time the event occurred
