- (int)
buttonNumber;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Returns the button number for the mouse button pressed in a mouse event. Intended primarily for the case where a mouse has three or more buttons, and you want to know which button an 'other' mouse event refers to.
- (NSString*)
characters;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the string of characters for a keyboard event.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event.
- (NSString*)
charactersIgnoringModifiers;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the string of characters for a keyboard event, as if no modifier keys had been pressed when the keyboard event occirred.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event.
- (int)
clickCount;
Availability: OpenStep
Return the number of clicks associated with the mouse down or up event. This method is not applicable for any event type other than a mouse down or mouse up.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event.
- (
NSGraphicsContext*)
context;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the graphics context for which this event was generated.
- (int)
data1;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the 'data1' item associated with the event.
Raises NSInternalInconsistencyException if the event is not of type NSAppKitDefined, NSSystemDefined, NSApplicationDefined, or NSPeriodic
- (int)
data2;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the 'data2' item associated with the event.
Raises NSInternalInconsistencyException if the event is not of type NSAppKitDefined, NSSystemDefined, NSApplicationDefined, or NSPeriodic
- (float)
deltaX;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Returns the movement of the mouse on the X axis.
This method is only valid for NSMouseMoved, NS*MouseDragged and NSScrollWheel events, otherwise it will raise an NSInternalInconsistencyException.
- (float)
deltaY;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Returns the movement of the mouse on the Y axis.
This method is only valid for NSMouseMoved, NS*MouseDragged and NSScrollWheel events, otherwise it will raise an NSInternalInconsistencyException.
- (float)
deltaZ;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Returns the movement of the mouse on the Z axis.
This method is only valid for NSMouseMoved, NS*MouseDragged and NSScrollWheel events, otherwise it will raise an NSInternalInconsistencyException.
The value returned is 0.0 in most cases.
- (int)
eventNumber;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the event number associated with any mouse event or tracking event. Event numbers are allocated sequentially when the system creates these events.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event.
- (BOOL)
isARepeat;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns a flag to say if this is a keyboard repeat event.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event than an NSKeyUp or NSKeyDown.
- (unsigned short)
keyCode;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the numeric key code of a keyboard event.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event than an NSKeyUp or NSKeyDown.
- (NSPoint)
locationInWindow;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the window location for which this event was generated (in the base coordinate system of the window).
- (unsigned int)
modifierFlags;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the modifier flag bits associated with the event.
- (float)
pressure;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the pressure associated with a mouse event. This is a value in the range 0.0 to 1.0 and for mormal mouse events should be set to one of those extremes. This is used by pressure sensitive input devices.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event than a mouse event.
- (short)
subtype;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the 'subtype' item associated with the event.
Raises NSInternalInconsistencyException if the event is not of type NSAppKitDefined, NSSystemDefined, NSApplicationDefined, or NSPeriodic
- (NSTimeInterval)
timestamp;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the time interval since system startup at which this event was generated.
- (int)
trackingNumber;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns a number identifying the tracking rectangle entered or exited.
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event than a mouse entered or exited event.
- (
NSEventType)
type;
Availability: OpenStep
returns the type of this event.
- (void*)
userData;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns usder data associated with a tracking event... the data assigned to the tracking rectangle concerned when it was created..
Raises an NSInternalInconsistencyException if applied to any other type of event than a mouse entered or exited event.
- (
NSWindow*)
window;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the window for which this event was generated.
Periodic events have no associated window, and you should not call this method for those events.
- (int)
windowNumber;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the window number of the window for which this event was generated.
Periodic events have no associated window, and you should not call this method for those events.
