Hello,

i'm doing a simple calculator in MUI, i have the main part but i would like to use numeric keyboard.

Do you have an simple example for hotkey please?

Thanks

Hotkey? Simply get the digits.
If you have a PowerBook without numeric keyboard, you have to use the main keyboard.

get the digit?

sorry, i'm a newbie in C and MUI...

You want to grab numeric keystrokes?

There is many ways to achieve that.

Probably, the easier is doing a custom mui group class at the root of your mui object tree and setup some MUI event handler for grabbing ICMP_RAWKEY events.

Then, from that subclass, you can check if numeric keys has been hit and do whatever processing you like with inside the MUIM_HandleEvent method.

If you're doing something with the keyboard event and you don't want other objects in the object MUI tree to react to that event, you can instruct MUI to 'eat' the event (ie: kind of discard) by returning MUI_EventHandlerRC_Eat in the MUIM_HandleEvent method.

For succeeding with all that, you first need to master MUI subclassing concepts. Best is probably reading some obligement article on the matter, for example:

http://obligement.free.fr/articles/mui_custom_class.php

Keywords: MUI subclass, MUIM_Window_AddEventHandler, MUI_EventHandlerRC_Eat

The question is why IDCMP_RAWKEY and/or specific NumPad keys?

Why should it matter which 123....-+/= etc I hit?

Just listen to IDCMP_VANILLAKEY and be done with it.

If you only need some few shortcuts you can use
MUIA_Window_InputEvent

Thanks for your returns.

I would like just to use numeric paddle in the calculator.

I will try with your info next week.
