[Solved] Commodity events
Supreme Council
Supreme Council


See User information
Is there any way to make a commodity to not consume a hotkey input event?

That is, I want to listen to a certain hotkey. But I don't want to trap the event in my application but also let other applications/commodities to listen to the specific input event as well.


(in this instance I'm listening to mouse buttons, but do not want to block other apps from listening to mouse buttons)

This is going to be very difficult to describe without typing in the whole chapter, but I'll have a go...

When you set up the commodity, normally you install a CxFilter object to trap the hotkey. A CxSender would then be set up to send that hotkey to the commodity MsgPort.
In order to swallow the key input, a CxTranslate object would then be attached to the sender, with an input event of NULL.

By removing this CxTranslate object, the hotkey will be transmitted throughout the system, as there is nothing to stop it.

I heartedly suggest you try to obtain a copy of the RKRM Libraries (Third Edition) is these are still the Amiga programming bible.

Searching the internet I found this link quite a while ago:

http://pub.elowar.com/AmigaDev/Libraries_Manual.html

Not sure if it helps here but it might come handy for someone.

And looking for the root-dir you'll find some more interesting links.

I've already read the RKRM chapter for commodities. It didn't help much.

If noone else has any concrete suggestions on what to do I'll try removing the CxTranslate object as Rigo suggested.

Removing the translator made it work. Thanks.

Revisiting this thread..

For the Workbench lock utility I am working on, I have read the commodities section DevCD but I couldn't understand well as a beginner

How can I limit key and mouse input for a specific window using this CX commands ?

I wish there was some commodity example that can be compiled for OS4 SDK.

Thanks

The button swapper commodity example in the RKRMs still compiles and runs fine under OS4.
