RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

I am trying to update an old piece of code that I have (way too large to post). It is not using WindowClass. It uses IDCMP_RAWKEY and IDCMP_VANILLAKEY and others.

I have updated the old window to the new WindowClass so I can use ReAction classes. Now I don't receive any VANILLAKEYs, neither WMHI_VANILLAKEY or IDCMP_VANILLAKEY. I only get WMHI_RAWKEY.

Do I have to use a WINDOW_IDCMPHook to catch the vanillakeys? I really don't want to since it would take some serious re-writing.

Re: RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

Did you explicitly set IDCMPVANILLAKEY in the WA_IDCMP tag?

You need to do that to get WMHI_VANILLAKEY messages.

Re: RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

I had both IDCMP_RAWKEY and IDCMP_VANILLAKEY in WA_IDCMP. I took out IDCMP_RAWKEY and it started to work, I receive both now. That makes no sense.

Re: RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

Now what is throwing me off is I am getting the correct RAWKEY code, but wrong VANILLAKEY code.

When I revert back to the old code using IExec->Wait() and IExec->GetMsg() it all works fine.

When I use the WindowClass: while((Result=IIntuition->IDoMethod(Objects[OID_WINDOW],WM_HANDLEINPUT,&Code)) != WMHI_LASTMSG)
I get the correct Result (Class) but the Code is wrong for VanillaKey.

Key | Old | New
1 | 49 | 129
Q | 113 | 144
A | 97 | 160
Z | 122 | 177

New Code values totally out of the range they should be in. Any ideas?

uint32 Result;
uint16 Code, Qualifier;

Re: RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

IDCMP_RAWKEY is there by default as window.class requires it so adds it to the WA_IDCMP mask you pass, so whether it's present or not should make no difference.

Re: RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

I think you should be using result & WMHI_KEYMASK for vanilla key not 'code'.

               case WMHI_VANILLAKEY:
                {	
                //	IDOS->Printf("vanillakey code %ld %ld \n",code,result&WMHI_KEYMASK);
                	switch (result & WMHI_KEYMASK)
                	{
                		case 's':
                			Executerexx("SWAPCOLORS");
                			break;
                		case 26: // CTTL Z
                			Executerexx("UNDO;DISPLAYPROJECT DAMAGE");
                			break;
                		case 25: /// CTRL Y	
                			Executerexx("REDO;DISPLAYPROJECT DAMAGE");
                			break;	
                	}
                	break;
                }

Re: RAWKEY, no VANILLAKEY

I found an example using your suggestion probably around the same time:

https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/Programming_AmigaOS_4:_GUI_Toolkit_ReAction

I am slowly getting it updated/working. Still a long way to go.

Thanks.
