FE Developers: IPac Key Repeat?

<< < (2/3) > >>

ErikRuud:
It must be what is happening.  

Andy says that the IPac does not do repeats, and yet GameLauncher will continue to scroll if I hold the joystick up or down.  The key just stays down for the duration.

VMJ Team:
The repeating key feature is programmed into the front-end software.  I have also encorporated this feature into the KeyMouse software I wrote.  Not only can you program any keys to repeat, but you can also program shiftable keys or combination sets (example.  program ALT+F4 to be issued when you press a single key).

Check it out (Bug: will not work on some versions of WIN98/me)

Howard_Casto:
Stick a timer in your front end your building have it activate when your holding down the key and send the code to scroll down every few milliseconds.  It works and it won't interfere with using a normal keyboard input.

Howard,

Thanks for the tip - that's exactly what I had in mind.  I'll try it out tonight and post results...

Dave Dribin:
Yeah, like Howard said, you need to use timers.  Game Launcher does all the key repeat stuff itself with two timers, actually.  The first one is the time between the initial keypress and the first repeat.  The second timer is for subsequent repeats.  The first timer's default is 250ms and the second timer's is 125ms.  HTH!

-Dave
