Interface KeySnoopMethod

public interface KeySnoopMethod

Deprecated: This class is part of the java-gnome 2.x family of libraries, which, due to their inefficiency and complexity, are no longer being maintained and have been abandoned by the java-gnome project. This class may in the future have an equivalent in java-gnome 4.0, try looking for org.gnome.gtk.KeySnoopMethod. You should be aware that there is a considerably different API in the new library: the architecture is completely different and most notably internals are no longer exposed to public view.

Interface that can be used to intercept all key events before they are delivered normally. It can be used to implement custom key event handling.

public boolean keyEvent(Widget widget, EventKey event)

Method invoked when a key event occurs. This method is called before normal event delivery and can be used to implement custom key event handling.

Parameters: widget The widget to which the event will be delivered. event The key event.
