Overview
This code snippets shows how a Qt application listens for key events.
Note: In order to use this code, you need to have Qt installed on your platform.
Preconditions
- Install Qt SDK
Header
This QMyWidget implemets the base class virtual keyPressEvent() method which receives key events.
//Symbian EKeyLeftArrow = 0x807
const int KeyLeftArrow = 63495;
//Symbian EKeyRightArrow = 0x808
const int KeyRightArrow = 63496;
//Symbian EKeyUpArrow = 0x809
const int KeyUpArrow = 63497;
//Symbian EKeyDownArrow = 0x80a
const int KeyDownArrow = 63498;
//Symbian EKeyDevice3
const int KeyDevice3 = 63557;
#include <QtGui>
class QMyWidget : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
QMyWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);
~QMyWidget();
public:
void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *);
};
Source
Listening for key events:
#include <QDebug>
#include "QMyWidget.h"
QMyWidget::QMyWidget(QWidget *parent)
: QMyWidget(parent)
{
}
QMyWidget::~QMyWidget()
{
}
void QMyWidget::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event)
{
// This writes native virtual key into console output
// When pressing e.g. left arrow (native EKeyLeftArrow) output is 63495
qDebug() << event->nativeVirtualKey();
// Handle arrow keys and selection key events
switch (event->nativeVirtualKey())
{
case KeyLeftArrow:
{
// TODO
break;
}
case KeyRightArrow:
{
// TODO
break;
}
case KeyUpArrow:
{
// TODO
break;
}
case KeyDownArrow:
{
// TODO
break;
}
case KeyDevice3:
{
// TODO
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
};
}
Or using values from the native Symbian e32keys.h header:
void QMyWidget::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event)
{
#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
switch (event->nativeVirtualKey())
{
case EKeyUpArrow:
{
// Symbian EKeyUpArrow pressed
break;
}
};
}
#endif
Symbian TKeyEvent::iCode as QKeyEvent::nativeVirtualKey()
The following list contains Symbian C++ keycodes as Qt QKeyEvent::nativeVirtualKey() which can be received in keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event).
When Symbian C++ TEventCode is EEventKey, TKeyEvent::iCode equals QKeyEvent::nativeVirtualKey().
