Custom MojoX View?

[scurtyParticipant]

How does one comply with MojoX View Class standards?

I understand I have to “Extends View.”
I’ve tried getting Mouse/Key Events from within a “View” but so I got nothing.

Monkey

Namespace APPLICATION Class MyView Extends View Method New() Super.New() 'App.RequestRender() End Method OnRender(C:Canvas) Override C.DrawRect(0, 0, 32, 32) End Method OnMouseEvent(E:MouseEvent) Override Select E.Type Case EventType.MouseClick Print "Clicked" Case EventType.MouseMove Print "Moved" Case EventType.MouseUp Print "Mouse Up" End Select End '- Keyboard Event Handler Method OnKeyEvent( E:KeyEvent ) Override Select E.Key Case Key.B Print "B Key Pressed" End Select End End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46

Namespace APPLICATION Class MyView Extends View   Method New() Super.New() 'App.RequestRender() End Method OnRender(C:Canvas) Override C.DrawRect(0, 0, 32, 32) End Method OnMouseEvent(E:MouseEvent) Override Select E.Type Case EventType.MouseClick Print "Clicked" Case EventType.MouseMove Print "Moved" Case EventType.MouseUp Print "Mouse Up"   End Select End '- Keyboard Event Handler Method OnKeyEvent( E:KeyEvent ) Override Select E.Key Case Key.B Print "B Key Pressed" End Select End End

Then I simply create a “View” Instance in the main window class and run the app.
I get no rendering of the DrawRect.
And no Keyboard/Mouse input seems to be getting through.

Did you attach this view to a window? Window class is an entry point for all your views.

pseudocode:

Monkey

Class MyWindow extends Window Method New(...params here...) Super( ..params.. ) ContentView=New MyView '<- now your view is a main view of a window End End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Class MyWindow extends Window          Method New(...params here...)         Super( ..params.. )         ContentView=New MyView  '<- now your view is a main view of a window     End End

Also pay attention to some view-based classes have OnContentMouseEvent not a OnMouseEvent.

Oh my, thanks nerobot! Never noticed…

It’s good to look at sources of mojox module to better undertanding.

Maybe you’ll find some more suitable views to extend then the base View class.
