Instance Method Details

#addAccel(hotKey, *args) ⇒ Object

Add an accelerator to the table. The hotKey is a code returned by the Fox.fxparseAccel method.

There are several forms for addAccel; the original form (from FOX) takes either three or four arguments. For example, to associate the Ctrl+H keypress with sending the “hide” command to a window, you might use code like this:

hotKey = fxparseAccel("Ctrl+H")
accelTable.addAccel(hotKey, window, FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, FXWindow::ID_HIDE))

If you instead want to trigger the command on the key release (instead of the key press), pass a zero for the third argument and pass the command as the fourth argument:

accelTable.addAccel(hotKey, window, 0, FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, FXWindow::ID_HIDE))

You can even pass in two different messages, corresponding to the key press and key release events for the hot key, although this is less common.

accelTable.addAccel(hotKey, window,
  FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, FXWindow::ID_HIDE),
  FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, FXWindow::ID_SHOW))

The problem with this form is that you need to be familiar with the message types and identifiers that different widgets respond to, and this information isn’t very well documented. A more straightforward way to use addAccel from Ruby code is to instead pass one or more callable objects in as the second and third arguments. For example:

accelTable.addAccel(hotKey, lambda { window.hide })

or to trigger the event on the key release event:

accelTable.addAccel(hotKey, nil, lambda { window.hide })

Or to handle both the key press and key release events:

accelTable.addAccel(hotKey, lambda { window.hide }, lambda { window.show })

#hasAccel?(hotKey) ⇒ Boolean

Return true if accelerator specified. Here, hotKey is a code representing an accelerator key as returned by the Fox.fxparseAccel method. For example,

if accelTable.hasAccel?(fxparseAccel("Ctrl+S"))
  ...
end

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
