Description

Description:

🕖

This information is obsolete as of Arma 2 v1.00. Reason: Use ctrlAddEventHandler instead as it can stack event handlers.

Sets given event handler of given control: any previously added event handler is removed.

ⓘ

See User Interface Event Handlers for the full list of handler names
See also DIK KeyCodes for a list of key code constants relevant to key-related events like KeyDown and KeyUp

⚠

When using the event names listed here with the ctrlAddEventHandler, ctrlSetEventHandler, displayAddEventHandler or displaySetEventHandler commands, the prefix "on" in the event name must be removed (e.g. 'ButtonDown' instead of 'onButtonDown').

Groups:

GUI Control - Event Handlers Event Handlers

Syntax

Syntax:: controlName ctrlSetEventHandler [handlerName, function]
Parameters:: controlName: Control
: handlerName: String
: function: String - should return a Boolean indicating that the event has handled this event fully or not and whether the engine should execute its default code or not afterwards
Return Value:: Nothing

Examples

Example 1:: _control ctrlSetEventHandler ["KeyDown", ""];
Example 2:: (_display displayCtrl 108) ctrlSetEventHandler ["LBSelChanged","['ListChange',_this] call FireEvents"];
