Webboard

[Vlad]

Here are some code I wrote to experiment with the multimedia key on the webboard :

LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardFunc (int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
int scancode;
if ( nCode >= 0 ) {

scancode = (int)((lParam >> 16) & 0x01FF);
switch(scancode){
case 0x13b: // Close
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x13c: // Menu
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x13d: // Web
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x13e: // CD
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x13f: // User
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x140: // Prec track
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x141: // Stop
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x142: // Pause
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x143: // Next track
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x144: // Vol-
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x157: // Vol+
return TRUE;
break;
case 0x158: // Mute
return TRUE;
break;
}
}
return( CallNextHookEx(hhookHooks, nCode, wParam, lParam));
}

As you can see these key have the same scancode as F1-F12 keys but with bit 9=
1, if you could include this bit in girder event record we can distinguish the multimedia keys.

Hi Vlad,

Try this new keyboard DLL:

keyboard.dll

It should now put a 'Z' at the end of the
string if it is an extended key.

Let me know if it worked.

Vladimir and Ron ; I haven't tested it out already but I can already thank you for allowing this new feature in Girder.

A lot of French home theater pc users own such a webboard wireless keyboard along with Girder and this is a very nice add-on for us.

[Vlad]

Sorry but it seems to do nothing...

[Vlad]

I just saw the devel kit and look keyboard.cpp, I will try to patch it and make it work tonight.

[Ron]

Ooops

Well if you get it to work that would be
great!!

I made a mistake, it's not bit 9 but bit 24 of lParam ! I made it works now

e=((lParam & (1 << 24)) != 0);

e is true for a extended key and false for
F1-F12. I put a 'Z' at Buffer[6] if e is true, '0' else. Could you put this in your code ?

[Ron]

Hi Vlad,

I've updated the plugin with your code
example,... please check it out

It puts the Z at the 7th place btw

keyboard.dll

Let me know if it works
