want to switch in insert mode with
- KeyToggle( VK_INSERT ) or
- Eval( oWnd:oMsgBar:oKeyIns:bAction ) or
- Mouse click in the message bar on 'Ins'
but it's not working
In addition the NUMLOCK- and CAPSLOCK-LED's on the keyboard don't react, if the Buttons 'Num' or 'Caps' are mouse clicked in the message bar
With the informations out of these two threads:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2551
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1577
I changed the method 'KeybOn()' in msgbar.prg as follows:
- Replaced 'KeyToggle( VK_NUMLOCK )' with 'SetNumLock( !GetNumLock() )' in ::oKeyNum
- Replaced 'KeyToggle( VK_CAPITAL )' with 'SetCapsLock( !GetCapsLock() )' in ::oKeyCaps
- Added ', Set( _SET_INSERT, ! Set( _SET_INSERT ) )' in ::oKeyIns
Here is the complete method and the C functions:
- Code: Select all Expand view RUN
- METHOD KeybOn() CLASS TMsgBar
if ::oKeyNum == nil
// keep the ':=' below for XBase++ compatibility
::oKeyNum := TMsgItem():New( Self, "Num", ::GetWidth( "Num" ) + 12,,,, .t.,;
{ || SetNumLock( !GetNumLock() ), ::oKeyNum:Refresh() } )
::oKeyNum:lTimer = .t.
::oKeyNum:nClrDisabled = GetSysColor( COLOR_BTNSHADOW )
::oKeyNum:lActive = GetKeyToggle( VK_NUMLOCK )
::oKeyNum:bMsg = { || ::oKeyNum:lActive := GetKeyToggle( VK_NUMLOCK ), "Num" }
endif
if ::oKeyCaps == nil
// keep the ':=' below for XBase++ compatibility
::oKeyCaps := TMsgItem():New( Self, "Caps", ::GetWidth( "Caps" ) + 12,,,, .t.,;
{ || SetCapsLock( !GetCapsLock() ), ::oKeyCaps:Refresh() } )
::oKeyCaps:lTimer = .t.
::oKeyCaps:nClrDisabled = GetSysColor( COLOR_BTNSHADOW )
::oKeyCaps:lActive = GetKeyToggle( VK_CAPITAL )
::oKeyCaps:bMsg = { || ::oKeyCaps:lActive := GetKeyToggle( VK_CAPITAL ), "Caps" }
endif
if ::oKeyIns == nil
// keep the ':=' below for XBase++ compatibility
::oKeyIns := TMsgItem():New( Self, "Ins", ::GetWidth( "Ins" ) + 12,,,, .t.,;
{ || KeyToggle( VK_INSERT ), Set( _SET_INSERT, ! Set( _SET_INSERT ) ), ::oKeyIns:Refresh() } )
::oKeyIns:lTimer = .t.
::oKeyIns:nClrDisabled = GetSysColor( COLOR_BTNSHADOW )
::oKeyIns:lActive = GetKeyToggle( VK_INSERT )
::oKeyIns:bMsg = { || ::oKeyIns:lActive := GetKeyToggle( VK_INSERT ), "Ins" }
endif
::CheckTimer()
return nil
#pragma BEGINDUMP
#include <windows.h>
#include "hbapi.h"
#define TOGGLED 0x0001
void SetKeyLock( BYTE vKey, BOOL bState )
{
BOOL bCurrentState;
bCurrentState = ( GetKeyState( vKey ) & TOGGLED );
if( (bState && !bCurrentState) ||
(!bState && bCurrentState) )
{
// Simulate a key press
keybd_event( vKey,
0,
KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | 0,
0 );
// Simulate a key release
keybd_event( vKey,
0,
KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
0);
}
}
BOOL GetKeyLock( int vKey )
{
return ( GetKeyState( vKey ) & TOGGLED );
}
HB_FUNC( SETCAPSLOCK )
{
SetKeyLock( VK_CAPITAL, hb_parl( 1 ) );
}
HB_FUNC( SETNUMLOCK )
{
SetKeyLock( VK_NUMLOCK, hb_parl( 1 ) );
}
HB_FUNC( SETINSLOCK )
{
SetKeyLock( VK_INSERT, hb_parl( 1 ) );
}
HB_FUNC( GETCAPSLOCK )
{
hb_retl( GetKeyLock( VK_CAPITAL ) );
}
#pragma ENDDUMP
Now I can set the insert mode by mouse click or with:
- Code: Select all Expand view RUN
- ...
KeyToggle( VK_INSERT )
Set( _SET_INSERT, .T. )
...
And the NUMLOCK- and CAPSLOCK-LED's on the keyboard are consistent with the FiveWin settings
