Interface ISymbologyControlEvents

All Superinterfaces:
EventListener, Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
ISymbologyControlEventsAdapter, ISymbologyControlEventsProxy

public interface ISymbologyControlEvents
extends EventListener, Serializable

Provides access to events that occur with interaction to the SymbologyControl.

Description

This is the main events interface for the SymbologyControl. Generally there is no need to explicitly set event handlers, as most development environments will automatically provide event handlers.

Method Detail

onMouseDown

void onMouseDown(ISymbologyControlEventsOnMouseDownEvent theEvent)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Fires when the user presses any mouse button while over the SymbologyControl.

Description

The OnMouseDown event is triggered when the user presses a mouse button on the SymbologyControl . Use the event to specify actions that will occur when a given mouse button is pressed.

button specifies which mouse button was pressed. 1 for the left mouse button, 2 for the right mouse button, and 4 for the middle mouse button.

shift specifies an integer corresponding to the state of the SHIFT (bit 0), CTRL (bit 1) and ALT (bit 2) keys. When none, some or all of these keys are pressed none, some or all the bits get set. These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. For example, if both SHIFT and ALT were pressed, ShiftState would return 5.

x is the X coordinate, in pixels, where the mouse button was pressed referenced against the origin (0, 0) of the SymbologyControl (the top left hand corner).

y is the Y coordinate, in pixels, where the mouse button was pressed referenced against the origin (0, 0) of the SymbologyControl (the top left hand corner).

Remarks

Use the win32 SetCapture function to continue receiving mouse events (until the mouse is released) when the mouse is moved outside the control's display area. The win32 ReleaseCapture function releases the mouse.

Description

The OnMouseUp event is triggered when the user releases a mouse button on the SymbologyControl . Use the event to specify actions that will occur when a given mouse button is released.

button specifies which mouse button was pressed. 1 for the left mouse button, 2 for the right mouse button, and 4 for the middle mouse button.

shift specifies an integer corresponding to the state of the SHIFT (bit 0), CTRL (bit 1) and ALT (bit 2) keys. When none, some or all of these keys are pressed none, some or all the bits get set.

                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Fires when the user moves the mouse pointer over the SymbologyControl.

Description

The OnMouseMove event is triggered continually as the mouse moves over the SymbologyControl .

button specifies which mouse button was pressed. 1 for the left mouse button, 2 for the right mouse button, and 4 for the middle mouse button.

shift specifies an integer corresponding to the state of the SHIFT (bit 0), CTRL (bit 1) and ALT (bit 2) keys. When none, some or all of these keys are pressed none, some or all the bits get set. These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. For example, if both SHIFT and ALT were pressed, ShiftState would return 5.

Parameters:
theEvent - The event
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

onDoubleClick

void onDoubleClick(ISymbologyControlEventsOnDoubleClickEvent theEvent)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException
Fires when the user presses and releases the mouse button twice in quick succession.

Description

button specifies which mouse button was pressed. 1 for the left mouse button, 2 for the right mouse button, and 4 for the middle mouse button.

shift specifies an integer corresponding to the state of the SHIFT (bit 0), CTRL (bit 1) and ALT (bit 2) keys. When none, some or all of these keys are pressed none, some or all the bits get set. These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. For example, if both SHIFT and ALT were pressed, ShiftState would return 5.

x is the X coordinate, in pixels, where the mouse button was pressed referenced against the origin (0, 0) of the SymbologyControl (the top left hand corner).

y is the Y coordinate, in pixels, where the mouse button was pressed referenced against the origin (0, 0) of the SymbologyControl (the top left hand corner).

Remarks

The OnDoubleClick event is triggered when the user releases and presses a mouse button and then presses and releases it again on the SymbologyControl. If the double click does not occur within the system's double click time limit, the SymbologyControlwill recognise another OnMouseDown event. Otherwise the event sequence is as follows:

OnMouseDown
OnMouseUp
OnDoubleClick
OnMouseUp

Parameters:
theEvent - The event
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

onKeyDown

void onKeyDown(ISymbologyControlEventsOnKeyDownEvent theEvent)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException
Fires after a key is pressed on the keyboard.

Description

The OnKeyDown event is triggered when the user presses a key whilst the SymbologyControl has focus.

keyCode specifies a virtual key code value of the key pressed on the keyboard. For alpha-numeric keys this corresponds to the ASCII value, for example "A" key returns 65 which is the ASCII value for capital A. Other key codes are F1 to F12 are 112 to 123 respectively.

Shift specifies an integer corresponding to the state of the SHIFT (bit 0), CTRL (bit 1) and ALT (bit 2) keys. When none, some or all of these keys are pressed none, some or all the bits get set. These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. For example, if both SHIFT and ALT were pressed, ShiftState would return 5.

Remarks

Some development environments will filter out keystrokes. Typically the arrow keys are used to change control focus and will not fire the OnKeyDown event. To intercept these keys use the KeyIntercept property.

Parameters:
theEvent - The event
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

Description

The OnKeyUp event is triggered when when the user releases a key whilst the SymbologyControl has focus.
