    Hi,
    Can any one know how to get the key down event of InsertionPalette activex control.
    I have handled the KeyDownEvent but it is not fired while the control is active and key is pressed.

  • How to separate "Key down" event from panel and numerical control

    Hi, All
    I have a vi proecess key down events for panel and  a numerical control in this panel. the application will do: 
    1. when panel is focused, user can use "up" and "down" key to driver some hardware.
    2. when the numerical control has the focus, "up" and "down" key will change it's value as usual.
    somehow the second one did not work, because the panel "key down" event was trigger as well when I use "up' "down" key inise the numerical control. 
    then I used "Key down?" of numerical control to block the "up/down" key. But the first time when I run the Vi, the panel still got triggered one time. 
    any suggestions on this? test code attached  in this post too. 
    thanks

    This works for me in 2014.  In short, you just need to check to see if your numeric has the focus.  If it doesn't, then you process the key value.  No need for any other event here except for the stop button.

  • Key down event handeling when the VI isn't active

    Hi
      I've written a simplel VI that increases or decreases a numerical indicator depending on which key is pressed on the keyboard. But this only works when the VI window is active (the titlebar is blue and not gray). Is there anyway to listen for the key-down event even though the VI is not active?
    In advance thanks

  • Key down event in background

    Is there a way to make the key down event in the wait event structure run in the background when labview is not the focus? Also what is the difference between the "key down? event" and the "key down event"? I couldn't find a good answer in the LabVIEW help.

    tst wrote:
    To expand a bit on RF's answer, while you can't use the event structure to register for key down events in other windows, there are some potential options:
    You could use the input VIs to poll the keyboard (and you can have a loop which will use a user event to send each new key to an event structure). The main problem with this (and it's a big one) is that it is unreliable. You would have to poll quickly enough (probably at ~20-50 Hz) to have a decent chance of being sure that you're not missing keys and even then it's not guaranteed. The other problem is that you don't know which window was actually in focus.
    You could try getting the window messages from the other window. I have no real experience with Windows messaging, but my understanding is that this will probably require you to write a custom hook in C to get it, but it's possible that this is also possible with the standard Win32 API functions. Even if it is, this is probably not something you want to get into to, but you could try looking it up.
    Actually this Windows Messaging already exists in LabVIEW:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4394
    However there is a few issues.  It only partially works in Windows 64-bit, and you have to know the handle to the application that you want to intercept key downs for.  I did a quick test and I was able to detect the KEYDOWN event in another VI that was running for for some reason got an error when I tried to get keydown on notepad.  This method would eliminate polling if you can get it to work, and because of this you shouldn't miss any key presses.

  • Key down events

    Hi,
    I've been working on code for handling a flash-plugin inside an existing application, and have been looking at getting the flash player working with the Cocoa/CoreGraphics API.
    Thus far, I have plugin loading, focus, mouse handling events all working. But then key events don't work consistently - on some flash applications, the key down events work, but on most they return a '1' but the flash app doesn't respond.
    This is most odd, and a pretty esoteric type of work - I don't know many people who get this kind of work, and it's hard finding people who can share their experiences of this.
    I've been going through the NPAPI docs on the mozilla website and copying a lot of the handling code in WebKit, Chromium and Firefox, but none of it seems to help any more - my handling code works the same way as that does, but the responses for key down events are different.
    So, this is just a last try before I go crazy - has anyone ever seen anything like this before?
    Thanks,
    Tom.

    Well, it is a problem with Flash Player and not Flash. I don't need an experienced Flash developer.
    Seriously though, the nature of the question is so esoteric that I doubt there are many developers anywhere who could give much advice.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Detecting external keyboard Key Down Events in Ipad2 without EditText Field.

    I am trying to detect key pressed for an external keyboard (bluetooth) in IPad2 , I was only able to do so when the focus is on EditText Field.

  • CS3/MAC key down events

    I have a plugin which presents a dialog and does some keyboard input,
    and under mac/cs3 ONLY, indesign is capturing and acting upon key
    down events before the plugin sees them.
    Oddly, key UP events are being passed through normally.
    These events are being delivered to the plugin by the
    mac toolbox function WaitNextEvent.
    Is this a known problem?

    The last time I read about the Mac event manager, WaitNextEvent was deprecated in favour of carbon events. Maybe InDesign now also follows this path.
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/Carbon_Event_Manager/Concept/ch apter_2_section_4.html
    Anyway, bypassing InDesign in order to invoke WNE is bad style. Make yourself familiar with IEventHandler and alike.
    > Is this a known problem?
    If you're working at Extensis then at least one of your users now has found the problem ... . Could be a different reason though, I just saw this post:

  • When is Key down event case triggered

    Hi all,
    In event structure there is an event <this VI> key Down? 
    When will this event be triggered... i.e will this event be triggered only in case of a keyboard entry... ?
    Or in case i use a barcode reader, if data gets populated in a control on the Front panel through the barcode reader will this trigger this event...?
    Thanks

    The Key Down event will only be fired when a key is pressed on the keyboard.  If you want to fire an event off of a Front panel control, you can either use a User Event or a property node called Value (Signaling).  This property node will cause a Value Change event to trigger when the value of the Front panel control changes.
    Cheers

  • How to catch cell lost focuse event of matrix

    Dear all
    can you tell me how to catch the cell lost fouc event of matrix.
    i want to check the value is entered the that cell, which is not greter than the extising value..
    thanks in advance......

    Hi
    For that you can use either validate or lost focus event
    Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.ItemEvent
            ' BubbleEvent sets the behavior of SAP Business One.
            ' False means that the application will not continue processing this event.
            ' Validate event
            If (pVal.FormType = 133) And (pVal.ItemUID = 38) And (pVal.ColUID = 1) And _
              (pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE) Then
                If (pVal.Before_Action) Then
                    'write your code
                End If
            End If
            'Lost focus event
            If (pVal.FormType = 133) And (pVal.ItemUID = 38) And (pVal.ColUID = 1) And _
             (pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_LOST_FOCUS) Then
                If (pVal.Before_Action) Then
                    'write your code
                End If
            End If
        End Sub
    Hope this helps

  • How to catching Clear-Sort button event?

    Does any one know how to catch the event when user click the Clear-ALL-Sort button? I would like to do somthing in Java by catching this event.
    thanks in advance.
    John

    I'm not really sure what you mean.
    LIke, I want to use the three event listener functions like a global or static function for all of the buttons which I think I've done for the most part.
    However, I'm having an issue with the current state of the button. Like...
    1 - on
    2 - off
    3 - off
    4 - off
    1 - off
    2 - on
    3 - off
    4 - off
    1 - off
    2 - off
    3 - on
    4 - off
    1 - off
    2 - off
    3 - off
    4 - on
    Really redundant right? So I want to beable to pass something through the event listener functions somehow so I only have to right the listener section once instead of 4 times.
    Know what I mean? If I was in an external document class structure I could just re-create my own event listener class to pass aonther property/parameter. But I don't know what I can do within AS3 internally in the Flash movie to do this.
    Just seems likes there should be a relatively simple way to do this, but I'm not sure how many errors I'd have to wade through or if it's even possible.
