Hi,
I need to export some QC compositions (that use custom plugins) to
quicktime movies. I normally use a version of the QCTV sample code. In
this case I need to use keyboard and mouse control to interact with
the composition while it is exporting. The QCTV sample works great
with Wii and midi controller patches (because they trigger different
events).
QCTV uses a customView - not a QCView so setting
acceptsFirstResponder:YES on the view doesn't work.
The QuartzComposerPlayer sample demonstrates mouse and keyboard event
passing but uses:
- (void) renderWithEvent:(NSEvent*)event
and
- (void) sendEvent:(NSEvent*)event
to pass these events:
#define kRendererEventMask (NSLeftMouseDownMask |
NSLeftMouseDraggedMask | NSLeftMouseUpMask | NSRightMouseDownMask |
NSRightMouseDraggedMask | NSRightMouseUpMask | NSOtherMouseDownMask |
NSOtherMouseUpMask | NSOtherMouseDraggedMask | NSKeyDownMask |
NSKeyUpMask | NSFlagsChangedMask | NSScrollWheelMask |
NSTabletPointMask | NSTabletProximityMask)
to the QCRenderer, whereas QCTV renders in the following method:
- (void) _renderTimer:(NSTimer*)timer
What would be the best (quickest / simplest) approach to modifying the
QCTV sample to accept keyboard and mouse events?
My hunches are to create a
- (void) renderWithEvent:(NSEvent*)event
method that gets called in - (void) _renderTimer:(NSTimer*)time - but
how do I get at the event?
or duplicate the - (void) _renderTimer:(NSTimer*)timer method but as
- (void) renderWithEvent:(NSEvent*)event that gets called in an added
- (void) sendEvent:(NSEvent*)event method
I have a few gaps in my knowledge here! Any help would be gratefully
received.
Thanks
Ian
