Return the old Content.setKeyPressCallback functionality (that we had for a few days)

[aaronventure]

@Christoph-Hart Btw, what is it checking against? For special keys like Backspace, it works if you type in backspace no matter the case, but BS, which is the character code in ASCII for backspace, does not work.

@Christoph-Hart said in Return the old Content.setKeyPressCallback functionality (that we had for a few days):

The new way is now checking for keypress matches before calling into any script, then returns true if the registered keypress matches (all within C++) and kicks off the asynchronous script callback, which is much more stable.

But a catch-all string might work, but can you elaborate the use case you're after?

Ok this broke a lot in my projects, so it says

Does this mean I have to list every character I'm going to use in the specified keypress callback?
like

const consumedKeys =
	[
	"a", "b", "c", etc........];

It is a callback for user search presets

Or how do I setup a "catch-all" string? (I guess this string will cover all

[aaronventure]

@ulrik you can do pass in cosumedKeys = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".split("");

and follow up with any special keys you want to use

consumedKeys.concat("Escape", "Backspace", "Return", "Delete");

[Christoph Hart]

@aaronventure Or just use setConsumedKeyPresses("all") :)

Throwing a compile error when you don't call this method is an entirely educational measure, but I think it's better if people run against a compile error that requires their attention instead of silently changing the behaviour (because here the implications are very subtle and not obvious).

this will throw an error
and the project will not compile

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart sorry, I opened it with an old compiled Hise app,
indeed it work, thank you @aaronventure and @Christoph-Hart !

@d-healey thanks David!

Just ran into this myself opening an old project.

I have a label. When the user types into the label I want to perform an action based on the text that is typed. If I use setConsumedKeyPresses("all"); then the callback triggers but the text in the label doesn't change as the user types. Is this a bug or am I using it incorrectly?

@d-healey I opened your snippet and can type into the label. Click on label, type, works as expected.

macOS 14.4.1 9d0b36cc0e5c4dc9d5c5bc3f434323322fa13fe1

@aaronventure Time to fire up my Mac and see if it works there

Confirmed. Seems to be a Linux bug. I'll see if I can figure it out.

[d.healey]

hmmm I can't see anything obvious and no errors reported in the debugger. @Christoph-Hart Any ideas?

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart If I remove the return true from here it works - https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/commit/65ef5cbdb6b6a28210afd961fa8ebbf7e6a9f7e0#diff-0d582ddb8fc1bed436b29e85947f1c794dabe03de8eba02b4632e41563e4187dR1609

But I'm guessing I shouldn't do that?

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Bump bump

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Still having this issue on Linux

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Seems this isn't just a Linux problem. Try this snippet on Windows

I see the relevant HISE source code has changed since I initially reported this issue, so possibly the changes have made it broken for other OSs now :)

[d.healey]

Can someone try the snippet above and confirm the issue? Thanks.

[aaronventure]

@d-healey Can you please sum up what am I supposed to be looking for?

The snippet behaves like the last one on macOS.

I'm seeing something else, though: if the script callback exists, then pressing enter will not defocus the label i.e. it won't return to its passive/not-editing state, but the Enter/Return callback trigger will definitely go through and send the appropriate obj in the callback.

Typing in the box doesn't do anything.

I just tested on MacOS and it's working fine there, so the issue seems to only be on Windows and Linux.
