NAME
SDL_KeyboardEvent - Keyboard event structure
STRUCTURE DEFINITION
typedef struct{
Uint8 type;
Uint8 state;
SDL_keysym keysym;
} SDL_KeyboardEvent;
STRUCTURE DATA
type SDL_KEYDOWN or
SDL_KEYUP state SDL_PRESSED or
SDL_RELEASED keysym Contains key press information
DESCRIPTION
SDL_KeyboardEvent is a member of the
SDL_Event union and is used when
an event of type
SDL_KEYDOWN or
SDL_KEYUP is reported.
The
type and
state actually report the same information, they just
use different values to do it! A keyboard event occurs when a key is
released (
type=
SDK_KEYUP or
state=
SDL_RELEASED) and when a key is
pressed (
type=
SDL_KEYDOWN or
state=
SDL_PRESSED). The information on
what key was pressed or released is in the
keysym structure.
Note: Repeating
SDL_KEYDOWN events will occur if key repeat is
enabled (see
SDL_EnableKeyRepeat).
