HotkeyString.mcc/HotkeyString.mcc

HotkeyString.mcc is a subclass of BetterString.mcc, it overloads the input
method, and converts inputevents to the alphabetical representation. This is
useful when you allow the user to customize keybindings.

The class also has public methods for converting between strings and
rawkeys, which should be a big help to programmers using the class.

MUIA_HotkeyString_Snoop -- [.SG], BOOL

Normally this stringgadget converts each and every keypress to the
alphabetical representation. In some cases this may not be desirable,
e.g. if you bind the gadget to a listview.
Setting this tag to FALSE will make the gadget behave like a normal
stringgadget.

EXAMPLE
/* We have a tbutton, which is a toggle button, a hstring which is our
HotkeyString - The tbutton is placed to the right of the string.

Setting up the following notify will let the string convert keys
only when the tbutton is down - And it will make the tbutton
become unpressed, when the user enters his hotkey.
*/

DoMethod(tbutton, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_Selected, TRUE,
MUIV_Notify_Window, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Window_ActiveObject,
hstring);

DoMethod(tbutton, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_Selected, MUIV_EveryTime, hstring,
3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_HotkeyString_Snoop, MUIV_TriggerValue);

DoMethod(hstring, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_String_Contents, MUIV_EveryTime,
tbutton, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Selected, FALSE);
