I am working on an app where I want to detect which key is pressed to launch the app
(if any) so I can launch to a predefined view if that button was pressed.
This is what I currently have, and it SOMETIMES works and sometimes does not. very
weird:
if (cmd == sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch)
{
UInt32 _keyState = KeyCurrentState();
if (EvtSysEventAvail(true))
{
EventType evt;
EvtGetEvent (&evt, evtNoWait);
if (evt.eType == keyDownEvent &&
TxtCharIsHardKey(evt.data.keyDown.modifiers, evt.data.keyDown.chr))
{
switch (evt.data.keyDown.chr)
{
case vchrHard1:
_keyState = 0x08;
break;
case vchrHard2:
_keyState = 0x10;
break;
case vchrHard3:
_keyState = 0x20;
break;
}
}
}
.
.
.
later on I check the _keyState variable and handle it. the this is SOMETIMES there is
a keyDown event when I press a hard key to launch, and sometimes there is not at this
point.
Does anyone here know how to get this consistantly?
