_IupRobot.c
The native interface to the window manager. For the moment only
windows is supported but it shouldn't be too difficult to
implement for other platforms and/or window managers. It may be
used directly, but all (relevant) functions are available through
IupRobot.lua. The way this
works is the requested action is translated into an event which is
injected in the event queue. The functions are grouped as
follows :
- move mouse
-
moveAbs-
Moves the mouse to the requested coordinates (in pixels).
For now only the primary display is supported because the
size of the
VIRTUALDESK is unknown.
moveRel-
Moves the mouse relatively to it's previous position over
the requested distance (in pixels). This function is not
used.
- mouse buttons
-
xxxDown-
Press the
xxx button (xxx =
left, middle or
right).
xxxUp-
Release the
xxx button (xxx =
left,middle or
right).
- keyboard
-
xxxDown- Press the
xxx key (see further).
xxxUp- Release the
xxx key (see further).
The keys are organised in different groups :
- normal
-
Printable ASCII characters. The parameter should be a
string of which the first character will be generated.
- modifier
- The modifiers : control, shift and alt
- functional
-
Keys which have a function rather than a representation.
The parameter will be looked up and the corresponding
virtual key event will be generated. As a convenience
there is a separate
enterUp and
enterDown method.
