I am keen to make use of the new event handling mechanism for libraries provided in V2.0b2. I know that there is documentation to come and perhaps I am being a bit hasty but I decided to do some experiments for my own benefit.

In the code below I have succeded in creating an object that handles mouse events with the current mouse position being updated all the time. It does not appear to be capturing key events. I am probably doing something wrong but I can't see it - must be tunnel vision.

This code was created in Eclipse

1. import processing.core.PApplet;
2. import processing.event.KeyEvent;
3. import processing.event.MouseEvent;
4. 
   
5. public class Test01 extends PApplet {
6.     EventHandler eh;
7.    
8.     public void setup(){
9.         size(300,300);
10.         eh = new EventHandler();
11.         registerMethod("keyEvent", eh);
12.         registerMethod("mouseEvent", eh);
13.     }
14.    
15.     public void draw(){
16.         background(255);
17.         fill(0);
18.         text(eh.mx + "  " +eh.my, 10, 10);
19.         text(eh.keyChar, 10, 30);
20.         text(key, 10, 50);
21.     }
22.    
23.     public class EventHandler {
24.         
25.         public int mx, my;
26.         public char keyChar = '?';
27.         
28.         public void keyEvent(KeyEvent e){
29.             println("==========================================");
30.             println("\tTime      = " + e.getMillis());
31.             println("\tAction    = " + e.getAction());
32.             println("\tKeyCode   = " + e.getKeyCode());
33.             println("\tKey       = " + e.getKey());
34.             println("\tModifiers = " + e.getModifiers());
35.             keyChar = e.getKey();
36.         }
37.         public void mouseEvent(MouseEvent e){
38.             mx = e.getX();
39.             my = e.getY();
40.         }
41.     }
42.      
43. }
