SoMouseButtonEvent(3)

NAME
SoMouseButtonEvent - The SoMouseButtonEvent class contains information about mouse button interaction.

SYNOPSIS

#include <Inventor/events/SoMouseButtonEvent.h>

Inherits SoButtonEvent.

  Public Types
enum Button { ANY, BUTTON1, BUTTON2, BUTTON3, BUTTON4, BUTTON5 }

  Public Member Functions

void setButton (Button button)
Button getButton (void) const

  Static Public Member Functions

Detailed Description

The SoMouseButtonEvent class contains information about mouse button interaction. When the user presses any buttons on the mouse, these will be translated from a system specific event into a Coin event and sent to the scene graph by using instances of this class.

Member Function Documentation

  SoType SoMouseButtonEvent::getClassTypeId (void) [static]
This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

  SoType SoMouseButtonEvent::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoEvent. This is used for runtime type checking and 'downward' casting.

Reimplemented from SoButtonEvent.

  void SoMouseButtonEvent::initClass (void) [static]
Initialize the type information data.

  void SoMouseButtonEvent::setButton (SoMouseButtonEvent::Button buttonarg)
Set the value of the button which the user interacted with.

This method is used from the window specific device classes when translating events to the generic Coin library.

See also
    getButton()

  SoMouseButtonEvent::Button SoMouseButtonEvent::getButton (void) const
Returns the value of the button which was pressed or released.

    getState()

    wasShiftDown(), wasCtrlDown(), wasAltDown(), getPosition(), getTime()

  SbBool SoMouseButtonEvent::isButtonPressEvent (const SoEvent * e, SoMouseButtonEvent::Button whichButton) [static]
Convenience method for quickly checking if the given event is a press on the given button, whichButton.

See also
    isButtonReleaseEvent(), isOfType(), getButton(), getState()

  SbBool SoMouseButtonEvent::isButtonReleaseEvent (const SoEvent * e, SoMouseButtonEvent::Button whichButton) [static]
Convenience method for quickly checking if the given event is a release of the given button, whichButton.

See also
    isButtonPressEvent(), isOfType(), getButton(), getState()

  SbBool SoMouseButtonEvent::enumToString (Button enumval, SbString & stringrep) [static]
Converts from an enum value of type SoMouseButtonEvent::Button to a string containing the enum symbol.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.
Since
    Coin 3.0
