SDL_GetModState - Get the state of modifier keys. SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h" SDLMod SDL_GetModState(void); DESCRIPTION
Returns the current state of the modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, etc.). RETURN VALUE
The return value can be an OR'd combination of the SDLMod enum. SDLMod typedef enum { KMOD_NONE = 0x0000, KMOD_LSHIFT= 0x0001, KMOD_RSHIFT= 0x0002, KMOD_LCTRL = 0x0040, KMOD_RCTRL = 0x0080, KMOD_LALT = 0x0100, KMOD_RALT = 0x0200, KMOD_LMETA = 0x0400, KMOD_RMETA = 0x0800, KMOD_NUM = 0x1000, KMOD_CAPS = 0x2000, KMOD_MODE = 0x4000, } SDLMod; SDL also defines the following symbols for convenience: #define KMOD_CTRL (KMOD_LCTRL|KMOD_RCTRL) #define KMOD_SHIFT (KMOD_LSHIFT|KMOD_RSHIFT) #define KMOD_ALT (KMOD_LALT|KMOD_RALT) #define KMOD_META (KMOD_LMETA|KMOD_RMETA) SEE ALSO

SDL::Events - Bindings to the Events Category in SDL API CATEGORY Core, Events SYNOPSIS
Most likely you just want to know how to get events for you app. use SDL ':init'; use SDL::Event; use SDL::Events ':all'; SDL::init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); # Event can only be grabbed in the same thread as this ... my $event = SDL::Event->new(); # notices 'Event' ne 'Events' while( 1 ) { SDL::Events::pump_events(); while( SDL::Events::poll_event($event) ) { #check by event type on_active() if $event->type == SDL_ACTIVEEVENT; ... } } CONSTANTS
The constants are exported by default. You can avoid this by doing: use SDL::Events (); and access them directly: SDL::Events::SDL_ACTIVEEVENT; or by choosing the export tags below: Export tag: ':type' SDL_ACTIVEEVENT SDL_KEYDOWN SDL_KEYUP SDL_MOUSEMOTION SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP SDL_JOYAXISMOTION SDL_JOYBALLMOTION SDL_JOYHATMOTION SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWN SDL_JOYBUTTONUP SDL_QUIT SDL_SYSWMEVENT SDL_VIDEORESIZE SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE SDL_USEREVENT SDL_NUMEVENTS Export tag: ':mask' SDL_EVENTMASK SDL_ACTIVEEVENTMASK SDL_KEYDOWNMASK SDL_KEYUPMASK SDL_KEYEVENTMASK SDL_MOUSEMOTIONMASK SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWNMASK SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUPMASK SDL_MOUSEEVENTMASK SDL_JOYAXISMOTIONMASK SDL_JOYBALLMOTIONMASK SDL_JOYHATMOTIONMASK SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWNMASK SDL_JOYBUTTONUPMASK SDL_JOYEVENTMASK SDL_VIDEORESIZEMASK SDL_VIDEOEXPOSEMASK SDL_QUITMASK SDL_SYSWMEVENTMASK SDL_ALLEVENTS Export tag: ':action' SDL_ADDEVENT SDL_PEEKEVENT SDL_GETEVENT Export tag: ':state' SDL_QUERY SDL_IGNORE SDL_DISABLE / SDL_ENABLE SDL_RELEASED / SDL_PRESSED Export tag: ':hat' SDL_HAT_CENTERED SDL_HAT_UP / SDL_HAT_RIGHT / SDL_HAT_DOWN / SDL_HAT_LEFT SDL_HAT_RIGHTUP / SDL_HAT_RIGHTDOWN / SDL_HAT_LEFTUP / SDL_HAT_LEFTDOWN Export tag: ':app' SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS SDL_APPACTIVE Export tag: ':button' SDL_BUTTON SDL_BUTTON_LEFT / SDL_BUTTON_MIDDLE / SDL_BUTTON_RIGHT SDL_BUTTON_WHEELUP / SDL_BUTTON_WHEELDOWN SDL_BUTTON_X1 / SDL_BUTTON_X2 SDL_BUTTON_LMASK / SDL_BUTTON_MMASK / SDL_BUTTON_RMASK SDL_BUTTON_X1MASK / SDL_BUTTON_X2MASK Export tag: ':keysym' SDLK_UNKNOWN SDLK_FIRST SDLK_BACKSPACE SDLK_TAB SDLK_CLEAR SDLK_RETURN SDLK_PAUSE SDLK_ESCAPE SDLK_SPACE SDLK_EXCLAIM SDLK_QUOTEDBL SDLK_HASH SDLK_DOLLAR SDLK_AMPERSAND SDLK_QUOTE SDLK_LEFTPAREN / SDLK_RIGHTPAREN SDLK_ASTERISK SDLK_PLUS / SDLK_MINUS SDLK_COMMA SDLK_PERIOD SDLK_0 ..

pump_events Pumps the event loop, gathering events from the input devices. pump_events(); pump_events gathers all the pending input information from devices and places it on the event queue. Without calls to pump_events no events would ever be placed on the queue. Often the need for calls to pump_events is hidden from the user since "poll_event" and "wait_event" implicitly call pump_events. However, if you are not polling or waiting for events (e.g. you are filtering them), then you must call pump_events to force an event queue update. peep_events (event, num_events, action, mask) Checks the event queue for messages and optionally returns them. my $num_peep_events = SDL::Events::peep_events($event, 127, SDL_PEEKEVENT, SDL_ALLEVENTS); If action is SDL_ADDEVENT, up to num_events events will be added to the back of the event queue. If action is SDL_PEEKEVENT, up to numevents events at the front of the event queue, matching mask, will be returned and will not be removed from the queue. If action is SDL_GETEVENT, up to numevents events at the front of the event queue, matching mask, will be returned and will be removed from the queue. The mask parameter is a bitwise OR of SDL::Events::SDL_EVENTMASK(event_type), for all event types you are interested in This function is thread-safe. You may have to call pump_events before calling this function. Otherwise, the events may not be ready to be filtered when you call peep_events. Examples of mask: SDL_EVENTMASK (SDL_KEYUP) (SDL_EVENTMASK (SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN) | SDL_EVENTMASK (SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP)) SDL_ALLEVENTS SDL_KEYUPMASK SDL_ALLEVENTS ^ SDL_QUITMASK RETURN Number of Events actually stored or -1 if there was an error poll_event($event) Polls for currently pending events. If $event is not NULL, the next event is removed from the queue and stored in the SDL::Event structure pointed to by $event. As this function implicitly calls pump_events, you can only call this function in the thread that set the video mode with SDL::Video::set_video_mode. RETURN Returns 1 if there are any pending events, or 0 if there are none available. push_event($event) Pushes an event onto the event queue The event queue can actually be used as a two way communication channel. Not only can events be read from the queue, but the user can also push their own events onto it. event is a pointer to the event structure you wish to push onto the queue. The event is copied into the queue, and the caller may dispose of the memory pointed to after push_event returns. Note: Pushing device input events onto the queue doesn't modify the state of the device within SDL. This function is thread safe, and can be called from other threads safely. RETURN Returns 0 on success or -1 if the event couldn't be pushed. wait_event($event) Waits indefinitely for the next available $event, returning 0 if there was an error while waiting for events, 1 otherwise. If $event is not NULL, the next event is removed from the queue and stored in $event. As this function implicitly calls SDL_PumpEvents, you can only call this function in the thread that SDL::Video::set_video_mode. RETURN 0 if there was an error while waiting for events, 1 otherwise set_event_filter Sets up a filter to process all events my $filter = sub { if($_[0]->type == SDL_ACTIVEEVENT){ return 0} else{ return 1; }}; SDL::Events::set_event_filter($filter); PARAMETER set_event_filter takes a coderef that it checks all events again. The callback gets a event in the stack sub { my $event_to_test = shift; ...} to filter the event return a 0, to pass the filter return a 1. One Caveat is if you are filtering SDL_QUIT the event will be filtered if it is non-intterupt call ( Window closes normally ). If it is a interrupt SDL_QUIT it will be process on the next event poll. Events pushed onto to the queue with SDL::Events::push_events or SDL::Events::peep_events do not get filtered. This callback may run in a different thread. get_key_state Get a snapshot of the current keyboard state my $keys_ref = SDL::Events::get_key_state(); print $keys_ref->[SDLK_RETURN]; # 1 if pressed , 0 if not pressed Use SDL::Events::pump_events to update the state array. This function gives you the current state after all events have been processed, so if a key or button has been pressed and released before you process events, then the pressed state will never show up in the get_key_state call. This function doesn't take into account whether shift has been pressed or not. get_mod_state Get the state of the modifier keys Returns the current state of modifier keys Return value is an OR'd combination of KMOD_* SDL::Events::pump_events; #get latest mod_state in buffers my $mod_state = SDL::Events::get_mod_state(); # Check which ones are pressed with # no mod pressed? print 'no_mod' if ( $mod_state & KMOD_NONE ); # CTRL or ALT print 'ctrl alt' if ($mod_state & KMOD_CTRL || $mod_state & KMOD_ALT ); MOD VALUES KMOD_NONE KMOD_LSHIFT KMOD_RSHIFT KMOD_LCTRL KMOD_RCTRL KMOD_LALT KMOD_RALT KMOD_LMETA KMOD_RMETA KMOD_NUM KMOD_CAPS KMOD_MODE KMOD_CTRL same as KMOD_LCTRL|KMOD_RCTRL KMOD_SHIFT same as KMOD_LSHIFT|KMOD_RSHIFT KMOD_ALT same as KMOD_LALT|KMOD_RALT KMOD_META same as KMOD_LMETA|KMOD_RMETA set_mod_state Get the state of the modifier keys The inverse of SDL::Events::get_mod_state allows you to impose modifier key states on your application. Simply pass your desired modifier states into $modstate. This value can be a OR'd combination of any KMOD* constant. my $modstate = KMOD_LMETA | KMOD_LSHIFT; Any KMOD_* constant see SDL::Events::get_mod_state for constants. SDL::Events::set_mod_state( $modstate ); event_state Allows you to set the state of processing certain events SDL::Events::event_state( $type, $state ); A list of $type(s) can be found in SDL::Event STATES SDL_IGNORE The event of $type will be automatically dropper from the event queue and will not be filtered. SDL_ENABLE The event of $type will be processed normally. This is default. SDL_QUERY The current processing state of the $type will be returned get_key_name Gets the name of the a SDL virtual keysym my $event = SDL::Event->new(); while( SDL::Events::poll_event($event) ) { my $key = $event->key_sym; $key_str = SDL::Events::get_key_name($key); } Returns a string with the name of the key sym. enable_unicode Enable/Disable UNICODE translation my $previous_translation_mode = SDL::Events::enable_unicode( 1 ); #enable $previous_translation_mode = SDL::Events::enable_unicode( 0 ); #disables To obtain the character codes corresponding to received keyboard events, Unicode translation must first be turned on using this function. The translation incurs a slight overhead for each keyboard event and is therefore disabled by default. For each subsequently recieved key down event, the unicode member of the SDL::Event::key_sym provided structure will be then contain the corresponding character code, or otherwise zero. A value of 1 for enabling, 0 for disabling and -1 for unchanged. -1 is useful for querying the current translation mode. Only key press events will be translated not release events. Returns the previous translation mode as (1,0). enable_key_repeat Sets keyboard repeat rate my $success = SDL::Events::enable_key_repeat( $delay, $interval ); Enables or disables the keyboard repeat rate. $delay specifies how long the key must be pressed before it begins repeating, it then repleats at the speed specified by $interval. Both $delay and $interval are expressed in milliseconds. Setting $delay to 0 disables key repeating completely. Good default values are SDL_DEFAULT_REPEAT_DELAY and SDL_DEFAULT_REPEAT_INTERVAL. Return 0 on success and -1 on fail. get_mouse_state Retrieves the current state of the mouse my ($mask,$x,$y) = @{ SDL::Events::get_mouse_state( ) }; print 'Button Left pressed' if ($mask & SDL_BUTTON_LMASK); print 'Button Right pressed' if ($mask & SDL_BUTTON_RMASK); print 'Button Middle pressed' if ($mask & SDL_BUTTON_MMASK); print $x.','.$y; The current button state is returned as a button $bitmask, which can be tested using the the above constants get_relative_mouse_state Retrieves the current relative state of the mouse my ($mask,$x,$y) = @{ SDL::Events::get_mouse_state( ) }; print 'Button Left pressed' if ($mask & SDL_BUTTON_LMASK); print 'Button Right pressed' if ($mask & SDL_BUTTON_RMASK); print 'Button Middle pressed' if ($mask & SDL_BUTTON_MMASK); print $x.','.$y; # this is relative to the last position of the mouse The current button state is returned as a button $bitmask, which can be tested using the the above constants get_app_state Gets the state of the application my $app_state = SDL::Events::get_app_state(); The $app_state is a bitwise combination of: SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS Application has mouse focus warn 'mouse focus' if $app_state & SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS Application has keyboard focus warn 'keyboard focus' if $app_state & SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS SDL_APPACTIVE Application is visible warn 'Application Visible' if $app_state & SDL_APPACTIVE joystick_event_state Enable/disable joystick event polling my $status = SDL::Events::joystick_event_state( $state ); This function is used to enable or disable joystick event processing. With joystick event processing disabled you will have to update joystick states with SDL::Joystick::update and read the joystick information manually. $state can be: SDL_QUERY SDL_ENABLE SDL_IGNORE Joystick event handling is default. Even if joystick event processing is enabled, individual joysticks must be opened before they generate events Warning: Calling this function may delete all events currently in SDL's event queue. If $state is SDL_QUERY then the current state is returned, otherwise the new processing state is returned. SEE ALSO
