NAME

       SoButtonEvent -

       The SoButtonEvent class is the base class for all button events.

       The event classes which results from the user pushing buttons on some device (keyboard, mouse or
       spaceball) all inherit this class. The SoButtonEvent class contains methods for setting and getting the
       state of the button(s).

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/events/SoButtonEvent.h>

       Inherits SoEvent.

       Inherited by SoKeyboardEvent, SoMouseButtonEvent, and SoSpaceballButtonEvent.

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoButtonEvent::State
       This gives the actual state of the button.

       Enumerator

       UP     Button has been released.

       DOWN   Button has been pressed down.

       UNKNOWN
              The state of the button is unknown.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoButtonEvent::SoButtonEvent (void)
       Constructor.

   SoButtonEvent::~SoButtonEvent () [virtual]
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   SoType SoButtonEvent::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
       Returns the actual type id of an instantiated object.

       Reimplemented from SoEvent.

       Reimplemented in SoKeyboardEvent, SoSpaceballButtonEvent, and SoMouseButtonEvent.

   void SoButtonEvent::initClass (void) [static]
       Initialize the type information data.

   void SoButtonEvent::setState (SoButtonEvent::Statestate)
       Set the state of the button which the user interacted with.

       This  method  is used from the window specific device classes when translating events to the generic Coin
       library.

       See Also:
           getState()

   SoButtonEvent::State SoButtonEvent::getState (void) const
       Returns the state of the button which is the cause of the event, i.e.  whether  it  was  pushed  down  or
       released.

       See Also:
           wasShiftDown(), wasCtrlDown(), wasAltDown(), getPosition(), getTime()

   SbBool SoButtonEvent::enumToString (Stateenumval, SbString &stringrep) [static]
       Converts from an enum value of type SoButtonEvent::State to a string containing the enum symbol.

       This  function  is  an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1
       API.
