#PB_Event_FirstCustomValue and AddKeyboardShortcut

[Maitre_Kanter]

Hello everybody,

i have some custom values for events and there is a problem when I use AddKeyboardShortcut().

Code: Select all

Enumeration #PB_Event_FirstCustomValue
    #evt_focusOnTab_0
    #evt_focusOnTab_1
EndEnumeration 

AddKeyboardShortcut(MyWindow, #VK_F1, #evt_focusOnTab_0)

The issue raised at runtime (in french): [ERREUR] AddKeyboardShortcut(): La valeur 'Event' de AddKeyboardShortcut() doit être comprise entre 0 et 64000.

My implementation is not correct ? or may be an issue ?

This is not a bug.
From the help https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... rtcut.html

Event The number which will be returned by the EventMenu() function. This value has a limited range, from 0 to 64000. By default, a window already has the #PB_Shortcut_Tab and #PB_Shortcut_Tab|#PB_Shortcut_Shift shortcuts to handle tab and shift-tab correctly through the gadgets. A shortcut can be removed with RemoveKeyboardShortcut().

A shortcut generates a menu event (between 0 and 64000), not a custom event.
In your declaration, you have to dissociate the menu (shorcut) events enumeration from the custom events.

Code: Select all

Enumeration FormMenu
  #Evt_focusOnTab_0
  #Evt_focusOnTab_1
EndEnumeration

Enumeration EventCustom #PB_Event_FirstCustomValue
  #Evt_My_Custom1
EndEnumeration

AddKeyboardShortcut(MyWindow, #VK_F1, #Evt_focusOnTab_0)

To avoid problems in the enumerations with modules, an organization like the one proposed by ts-soft looks good: Enumeration #PB_Event_FirstCustomValue
