'keyEvent' in PApplet registerMethod (similarly to mouseEvent)

rackatansky

hello, is there a quick trick to register a "keyEvent" method in processing applet so i could register keyboard handling in any of my classes?

As far as i know we can register "draw", "pre", "post" and "mouseEvent" , keyboard input would also be helpful! If it's not currently supported, is there any quick tweak inside PApplet class to do it? I find method registering very useful :)

thanks for feedback

keyPressed, keyTyped, keyReleased.....

I guess you've meant registerMethod(), right? ;)
Dunno how you've reached the conclusion that "mouseEvent" is recognized, but not "keyEvent"?! :-/

Just take a look at registerMethod() inside class PApplet itself:

https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java#L1342

public void registerMethod(String methodName, Object target) {
  if (methodName.equals("mouseEvent")) {
    registerWithArgs("mouseEvent", target, new Class[] { processing.event.MouseEvent.class });

  } else if (methodName.equals("keyEvent")) {
    registerWithArgs("keyEvent", target, new Class[] { processing.event.KeyEvent.class });

  } else if (methodName.equals("touchEvent")) {
    registerWithArgs("touchEvent", target, new Class[] { processing.event.TouchEvent.class });

  } else {
    registerNoArgs(methodName, target);
  }
}
