2.15 control-event%

superclass: event%

A control-event% object contains information about a control event. An instance of control-event% is always provided to a control or menu item callback procedure.

(new control-event% [event-type event-type]
[ [time-stamp time-stamp]])
→ (is-a?/c control-event%)
   event-type :
(one-of/c 'button 'check-box 'choice
          'list-box 'list-box-dclick 'list-box-column
          'text-field 'text-field-enter
          'menu 'slider 'radio-box 'tab-panel
          'menu-popdown 'menu-popdown-none)
  time-stamp : exact-integer? = 0

The event-type argument is one of the following:

'button — for button% clicks
'check-box — for check-box% toggles
'choice — for choice% item selections
'list-box — for list-box% selections and deselections
'list-box-dclick — for list-box% double-clicks
'list-box-column — for list-box% column clicks in a column-control-event% instance
'text-field — for text-field% changes
'text-field-enter — for single-line text-field% Enter event
'menu — for selectable-menu-item<%> callbacks
'slider — for slider% changes

'tab-panel — for tab-panel% tab changes
'menu-popdown — for popup-menu% callbacks (item selected)
'menu-popdown-none — for popup-menu% callbacks (no item selected)

This value is extracted out of a control-event% object with the get-event-type method.
