NewStyleButtonListPlugin - handling keypresses

[psycik]

Is this possible?

I want to handle the control-w (prev channel) keypress in a plugin. I tried overriding the Onkeydown method but it stopped handling all keypresses entirely,.


Or if that not possible maybe allowing more than 4 buttons on the top?

Return true for any keypresses you handle and return base.OnKeyDown(e) for everything else. Stripped down version from YouTube:

Code:

public override bool OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // If CTRL was not pressed we don't care about it so return immediately
    if (e.Modifiers != System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control)
    return base.OnKeyDown(e);

    // Get the key combinations we want.
    switch (e.KeyCode)
    {
    case System.Windows.Forms.Keys.S:
        goto StopPressed;
    case System.Windows.Forms.Keys.P:
        goto PlayPressed;
    case System.Windows.Forms.Keys.K:
        goto RecordPressed;
    }
        
    // If we got here, these are not the droids we are looking for.
    return base.OnKeyDown(e);
            
    StopPressed:
    HandleCommand("Sort"); // Example
    return true;

    PlayPressed:
    // Do stuff here and return
    return true;

    RecordPressed:
    // Do stuff here and return
    return true;
}
