## Member Function Documentation

static bool csKeyEventHelper::GetAutoRepeat | ( | const iEvent * | event | ) | `[static]`

| Retrieve whether a keyboard down event was caused by the initial press (not auto-repeat) or by having it held for a period of time (auto-repeat. )

static csKeyCharType csKeyEventHelper::GetCharacterType | ( | const iEvent * | event | ) | `[static]`

| Retrieve the character type (dead or normal.).

static utf32_char csKeyEventHelper::GetCookedCode | ( | const iEvent * | event | ) | `[static]`

| Retrieve the key's cooked code.

static bool csKeyEventHelper::GetEventData | ( | const iEvent * | event,
|  | csKeyEventData & | data
| ) | `[static]`

| Get all the information in one compact struct.

static csKeyEventType csKeyEventHelper::GetEventType | ( | const iEvent * | event | ) | `[static]`

| Retrieve the event type (key up or down.).

static void csKeyEventHelper::GetModifiers | ( | uint32 | mask,
|  | csKeyModifiers & | modifiers
| ) | `[static]`

| Convert a bitmask returned by GetModifiersBits back to a csKeyModifiers struct. Also works for the Modifiers members of the csMouseEventData and csJoystickEventData structs, if you cast them to uint32.

static void csKeyEventHelper::GetModifiers | ( | const iEvent * | event,
|  | csKeyModifiers & | modifiers
| ) | `[static]`

| Retrieve the key's raw code. Referenced by csJoystickEventHelper::GetModifiers(), and csMouseEventHelper::GetModifiers().

static uint32 csKeyEventHelper::GetModifiersBits | ( | const iEvent * | event | ) | `[static]`

Get a bitmask corresponding to the pressed modifier keys from the event.

See also:
  CSMASK_ALT etc.

static uint32 csKeyEventHelper::GetModifiersBits | ( | const csKeyModifiers & | modifiers | ) | `[static]`

Get a bitmask corresponding to the pressed modifier keys from the keyboard modifiers struct.

See also:
  CSMASK_ALT etc.

Referenced by csJoystickEventHelper::GetModifiers(), and csMouseEventHelper::GetModifiers().

static utf32_char csKeyEventHelper::GetRawCode | ( | const iEvent * | event | ) | `[static]`

| Retrieve the key's raw code.
