NAME

SDL_KeyboardEvent?- Keyboard event structure

STRUCTURE DEFINITION

typedef struct{ Uint8 type; Uint8 state; SDL_keysym keysym; } SDL_KeyboardEvent?;

STRUCTURE DATA

type SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP

state SDL_PRESSED or SDL_RELEASED

keysym Contains key press information

DESCRIPTION

SDL_KeyboardEvent? is a member of the SDL_Event union and is used when an event of type SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP is reported.

The type and state actually report the same information, they just use different values to do it! A keyboard event occurs when a key is released (typeSDK_KEYUP or stateSDL_RELEASED) and when a key is pressed (typeSDL_KEYDOWN or stateSDL_PRESSED). The information on what key was pressed or released is in the keysym structure.

Note:

Repeating SDL_KEYDOWN events will occur if key repeat is enabled (see SDL_EnableKeyRepeat?).
