Detailed Description

The SoEvent class is the base class for all Coin events.

Coin contains its own set of event classes, independent of the underlying window system.

Upon system specific events, a translation is done by the window specific device classes into one of the Coin event object classes listed below. The event is then typically sent by the render area to an SoSceneManager which will apply it to the scenegraph through an SoHandleEventAction.

Events may be caught by the user by attaching an SoEventCallback node to the scenegraph, or it can automatically be handled by a dragger or manipulator in the graph.

Member Function Documentation

SbBool SoEvent::isOfType (SoType type) const

Returns TRUE if this object either has the same type as the given type parameter, or if type belongs to a superclass of ourselves.

SoType SoEvent::getClassTypeId (void) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

SoType SoEvent::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]

Returns the actual type id of an instantiated object.

Reimplemented in SoButtonEvent, SoKeyboardEvent, SoLocation2Event, SoMotion3Event, SoMouseButtonEvent, and SoSpaceballButtonEvent.

void SoEvent::setTime (const SbTime t)

From a system specific device object, set the time the event occurred.

See also

getTime()

SbTime SoEvent::getTime (void) const

Returns the time the event occurred.

See also

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

void SoEvent::setPosition (const SbVec2s & p)

From a system specific device object, set the mouse pointer position when the event occurred.

See also

getPosition(), getNormalizedPosition()

const SbVec2s & SoEvent::getPosition (void) const

Returns the mouse pointer position when the event occurred. The coordinates are given relative to the window coordinates.

See also

getNormalizedPosition(), getTime(), wasShiftDown(), wasCtrlDown(),

wasAltDown()

const SbVec2s SoEvent::getPosition (const SbViewportRegion & vpRgn) const

Returns the mouse pointer position when the event occurred. The coordinates are given relative to the viewport coordinates.

See also

getNormalizedPosition(), getTime(), wasShiftDown(), wasCtrlDown(),

wasAltDown()

const SbVec2f SoEvent::getNormalizedPosition (const SbViewportRegion & vpRgn) const

Returns the mouse pointer position when the event occurred. The coordinates are given relative to the viewport coordinates, normalized according to the size of the viewport.

See also

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

void SoEvent::setShiftDown (SbBool isDown)

From a system specific device object, set the state of the Shift key(s) when the event occurred.

See also

wasShiftDown(), setCtrlDown(), setAltDown()

SbBool SoEvent::wasShiftDown (void) const

Returns state of Shift key(s) when the event occurred.

See also

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

void SoEvent::setCtrlDown (SbBool isDown)

From a system specific device object, set the state of the Ctrl key(s) when the event occurred.

See also

wasCtrlDown(), setShiftDown(), setAltDown()

SbBool SoEvent::wasCtrlDown (void) const

Returns state of Ctrl key(s) when the event occurred.

See also

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

void SoEvent::setAltDown (SbBool isDown)

From a system specific device object, set the state of the Alt key(s) when the event occurred.

See also

wasAltDown(), setCtrlDown(), setShiftDown()

SbBool SoEvent::wasAltDown (void) const

Returns state of Alt key(s) when the event occurred.

See also

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

void SoEvent::initClass (void) [static]

Initialize SoEvent and all it's known subclasses (i.e. all subclasses which are part of the standard classes in the Coin library).

This method is called from SoDB::init(), so it's very unlikely that you will have to call it explicitly.
