## Detailed Description

Generic Keyboard Driver.

Keyboard driver should generate events and put them into an event queue. Also it tracks the current state of all keys.

Definition at line 101 of file csinput.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

csKeyboardDriver::csKeyboardDriver | ( | iObjectRegistry * |  | ) |

| Initialize keyboard interface.

virtual csKeyboardDriver::~csKeyboardDriver | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual csPtr<iKeyComposer> csKeyboardDriver::CreateKeyComposer | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Return an instance of the keyboard composer.

Remarks:
  All composers are independent. Specifically, passing a dead key to one composer won't affect the result after the next keyboard event of any other composer.

Implements iKeyboardDriver.

virtual void csKeyboardDriver::DoKey | ( | utf32_char | codeRaw,
|  | utf32_char | codeCooked,
|  | bool | iDown,
|  | bool | autoRepeat = `false`,
|  | csKeyCharType | charType = `csKeyCharTypeNormal`
| ) | `[virtual]`

Call this routine to add a key down/up event to queue.

Parameters:

  | codeRaw | 'Raw' code of the pressed key.
  | codeCooked | 'Cooked' code of the pressed key.
  | iDown | Whether the key is up or down.
  | autoRepeat | Auto-repeat flag for the key event. Typically only used by the platform-specific keyboard agents.
  | charType | When the cooked code is a character, it determines whether it is a normal, dead or composed character.

Implements iKeyboardDriver.

virtual bool csKeyboardDriver::GetKeyState | ( | utf32_char | codeRaw | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Query the state of a key. All key codes are supported. Returns true if the key is pressed, false if not. Implements iKeyboardDriver.

virtual uint32 csKeyboardDriver::GetModifierState | ( | utf32_char | codeRaw | ) | const`[virtual]`

Query the state of a modifier key.

Returns a bit field, where the nth bit is set if the nth modifier of a type is pressed. If a specific modifier is requested, e.g. CSKEY_SHIFT_LEFT, only the according bit is set. Otherwise, for a generic modifier (e.g. CSKEY_SHIFT), all distinct modifier keys of that type are represented.

Example: Test if any Alt key is pressed:

       bool pressed = (KeyboardDriver->GetModifierState(CSKEY_ALT) != 0);

Example: Test if the right Ctrl key is pressed:

       bool pressed = (KeyboardDriver->GetModifierState(CSKEY_CTRL_RIGHT) != 0);

Parameters:

  | codeRaw | Raw code of the modifier key.

Returns:
  Bit mask with the pressed modifiers.

Implements iKeyboardDriver.

virtual void csKeyboardDriver::LostFocus | ( |  | ) | `[inline, protected, virtual]`

| Application lost focus. Implements csInputDriver. Definition at line 130 of file csinput.h.

virtual CS_EVENTHANDLER_NIL_CONSTRAINTS void csKeyboardDriver::Reset | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Call to release all key down flags. Implements iKeyboardDriver.

virtual void csKeyboardDriver::RestoreKeys | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Call to get the key down flags in sync with the actual pressed keys.

virtual void csKeyboardDriver::SetKeyState | ( | utf32_char | codeRaw,
|  | bool | iDown,
|  | bool | autoRepeat
| ) | `[protected, virtual]`

| Set key state. For example SetKey (CSKEY_UP, true). Called automatically by do_press and do_release.

virtual csEventError csKeyboardDriver::SynthesizeCooked | ( | iEvent * |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Fills in the 'cooked' key code of an event with only a 'raw' key code. Implements iKeyboardDriver.

virtual void csKeyboardDriver::SynthesizeCooked | ( | utf32_char | codeRaw,
|  | const csKeyModifiers & | modifiers,
|  | utf32_char & | codeCooked
| ) | `[protected, virtual]`

| Generates a 'cooked' key code for a 'raw' key code from some simple rules.
