$keyval returns the key code of the key being pressed inside an on keydown or on keyup event.
/!\ This identifier is filled inside on char but this is mostly for convenience and is incorrect, inside on char, it only makes sense to check for $keychar
Synopsis[edit]
$keyval
Parameters[edit]
None
Example[edit]
Create an alias that launches a custom, picture window which listens for key presses and displays the key value pressed, the key character pressed, and if it is repeating:
alias keyDownTest { window -p $+ $iif($window(@myWindow),ra) @myWindow 550 300 250 105 } ON *:KEYDOWN:@myWindow:*: { clear @myWindow drawtext @myWindow 1 3 3 Key value: $keyval drawtext @myWindow 1 3 47 @myWindow Repeating: $keyrpt } ON *:char:@myWindow:*: { drawtext @myWindow 1 3 25 Key character: $keychar }
The following command can now be typed into any mIRC command prompt:
/keyDownTest
Below is an image reflecting what this example will look like:
Note that this makes use of a picture window, as well as the drawtext command. These types of windows and their tools can be very powerful in creating some amazing graphical layouts, as well as mIRC games.
Compatibility[edit]
Added: mIRC v5.5
Added on: 08 Jan 1999
Note: Unless otherwise stated, this was the date of original functionality.
Further enhancements may have been made in later versions.
