getLastKeyModifiers()

Classic Servoy
1

will not report the modifier key, when “showClick” property is disabled. All of my icon buttons have “showClick” disabled for space issues and to get a consistent look on all platforms.

Windows XP, SP2
Java 1.5_01
Servoy 2.1.2

Yes, same here. Can this be fixed? I really don’t like to use the showClick property…

Is this issue considered at this point in time? I need the key modifier without the showClick.

The space issue can simply be solved by setting the margin to 0,0,0,0.

Thanks for tip but this won’t help. I don’t want to show the LAF buttons around an icon. Only showClick = false will do that.

Hello,

I just ran into this again. I let my method output the pressedKey via application.output. Here’s what I observed:

  • if showClick on the button is disabled, getLastKeyModifiers returns always 16 when the form is shown inDialog :?
  • if showClick on the button is disabled, getLastKeyModifiers returns always 0 when the form is shown directly :?
  • if showClick is enabled, getLastKeyModifiers always returns the expected value

Is there a fix for this in the near future?

Won’t setting the borderType to Empty solve this issue ?
Haven’t tried it, just thinking outloud.

Even if that works, my findings remain strange…

No, not when you use Windows (XP) LnF :(

I wish Servoy would clean up all those layout/design issues. It frustrates the hell out of me to get something to work and then find out that it only works on platform X with this LnF Y.

I guess you have to complain with Sun for those issues…

No offense, but I have a customer-vendor relationship with Servoy - not Sun. We all work with customers every day and in my experience it doesn’t make them any happier if you blame a problem on the next guy. But I am ranting again…

I see your point. But since you are using a Java software, you have to live with Java shortcomings (actually I would believe they call that a feature). So if that is a real problem for you, you chose the wrong software…
