The ON Char event is triggered when a character results from pressing one or more inside of a custom @window.
See the note about the on keydown event, pressing control + o should result in two keypress being reported from on keydown, and control + o generates the character with code point 15, on char will trigger for that character.
This event fills the following identifiers:
Synopsis
ON <level>:char:<@>:<codepoint,...,codepointN>:<commands>
Parameters
<level>The level for the event to trigger.
<@>The custom window where this event should listen. Can be @ for all windows.
<codepoint>The specific characters' codepoints to listen for. Can specify multiple codepoints, such as:
ON *:char:@myWindow:38,42,55,78:echo -a $keyval
Example
Create an alias that launches a custom, picture window which listens for resulting character from keypresses and displays the character and if it is repeating:
alias keyDownTest { window -p $+ $iif($window(@myWindow),ra) @myWindow 550 300 250 105 } ON *:char:@myWindow:*: { clear @myWindow drawtext @myWindow 1 3 3 Codepoint value: $iif($keyval,$v1,NA) drawtext @myWindow 1 3 25 Character: $iif($keychar,$v1,NA) drawtext @myWindow 1 3 47 Repeating: $keyrpt }
The following command can now be typed into any mIRC command prompt:
/keyDownTest
