SoMouseButtonEvent(3)

NAME
SoMouseButtonEvent - The SoMouseButtonEvent class contains information about mousebutton interaction.

When the user presses any buttons on the mouse, these will be translated from a system specific event into a Coin event and sent to the scenegraph by using instances of this class.

SYNOPSIS

  SoMouseButtonEvent::SoMouseButtonEvent (void)
Constructor.

  SoMouseButtonEvent::~SoMouseButtonEvent () [virtual]
Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

  SoType SoMouseButtonEvent::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
Returns the actual type id of an instantiated object.

Reimplemented from SoButtonEvent.

  void SoMouseButtonEvent::initClass (void) [static]
Initialize the type information data.

  void SoMouseButtonEvent::setButton (SoMouseButtonEvent::Button buttonarg)
Set the value of the button which the user interacted with.

This method is used from the window specific device classes when translating events to the generic Coin library.

See also:
    getButton()

  SoMouseButtonEvent::Button SoMouseButtonEvent::getButton (void) const
Returns the value of the button which was pressed or released.

See also:
    getState()

    wasShiftDown(), wasCtrlDown(), wasAltDown(), getPosition(), getTime()

  SbBool SoMouseButtonEvent::isButtonPressEvent (const SoEvent * e, SoMouseButtonEvent::Button whichButton) [static]
Convenience method for quickly checking if the given event is a press on the given button, whichButton.

See also:
    isButtonReleaseEvent(), isOfType(), getButton(), getState()

  SbBool SoMouseButtonEvent::isButtonReleaseEvent (const SoEvent * e, SoMouseButtonEvent::Button whichButton) [static]
Convenience method for quickly checking if the given event is a release of the given button, whichButton.

See also:
    isButtonPressEvent(), isOfType(), getButton(), getState()

  SbBool SoMouseButtonEvent::enumToString (Button enumval, SbString & stringrep) [static]
Converts from an enum value of type SoMouseButtonEvent::Button to a string containing the enum symbol.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since:
    Coin 3.0
