Package and send events with C code

[cguthrie]

Hi All,

I'm trying to simulate a press event from C code and I was curious, how do I package the x,y coordinates so that the UI receives it as a press event.

Thanks,
cguthrie

Hi,

You can do something like this to build and send an event:

gr_event_t event;
gr_ptr_event_t ptr_event;

memset(&event, 0, sizeof(event));
memset(&ptr_event, 0, sizeof(ptr_event));

ptr_event.x = x;
ptr_event.y = y;
ptr_event.z = 0;
ptr_event.button = GR_EVENT_BTN_LEFT;

event.format = (char *)GR_EVENT_PTR_FMT;
if (down) {
event.name = (char *)GR_EVENT_PRESS;
} else if (up) {
event.name = (char *)GR_EVENT_RELEASE;
} else {
event.name = (char *)GR_EVENT_MOTION;
}

gre_io_serialize(buffer, NULL,
event.name, event.format,
&ptr_event, sizeof(ptr_event);
gre_io_send(handle, buffer);

I can not seem to find the .h file that contains the definition for gr_event_t in the QNX target environment! Can you please tell me where gr_event_t is defined?

Thanks.

All the headers are located with the Storyboard Engine files under the install root. So with 1.3 it will be in this location

[install directory]/Crank_Software/Storyboard_Engine/1.3.0.201109262142/qnx-6.4-x86-sdl-obj/include/gre
