Member Functions

◆ keyPressed()

virtual bool juce::KeyListener::keyPressed ( const KeyPress & key,
Component * originatingComponent )
pure virtual

Called to indicate that a key has been pressed.

If your implementation returns true, then the key event is considered to have been consumed, and will not be passed on to any other components. If it returns false, then the key will be passed to other components that might want to use it.

Parameters
keythe keystroke, including modifier keys
originatingComponentthe component that received the key event

keyStateChanged, Component::keyPressed

Implemented in juce::KeyPressMappingSet.

◆ keyStateChanged()

virtual bool juce::KeyListener::keyStateChanged ( bool isKeyDown,
Component * originatingComponent )
virtual

Called when any key is pressed or released.

When this is called, classes that might be interested in the state of one or more keys can use KeyPress::isKeyCurrentlyDown() to check whether their key has changed.

If your implementation returns true, then the key event is considered to have been consumed, and will not be passed on to any other components. If it returns false, then the key will be passed to other components that might want to use it.

Parameters
originatingComponentthe component that received the key event
isKeyDowntrue if a key is being pressed, false if one is being released
