onKeyDown() and keydown(i) in GUIControls

[AlexanderK]

I'm modifying my inventory to work with the keyboard, but I'm running into some problems
Why doesn't this work?

PHP Code:

function onMenuKeyDown() {
   player.chat="MenuKeyDown";
   if (keydown(8)) {
     player.chat="TAB";
     Inventory_Categories.forceonaction();
  }
} 


The player only chats "MenuKeyDown".

So I'm doing this instead,which works, but can I even use keycodes? Aren't they platform specific?

PHP Code:

function onMenuKeyDown(gui,keycode) {
   player.chat="MenuKeyDown";
   if (keycode==9) {
     player.chat="TAB";
     Inventory_Categories.forceonaction();
  }
}

You forgot a bracket I believe.

wild guess

GraalControl GUI (Which Graal is...) only has the keydown features. You're doing your system wrong if you need to do something like that. Can't you use this:

function onKeyPressed() {
  if (keydown(0)) this.s_pos = max(0, this.s_pos- 10);
  if (keydown(1)) this.s_pos = max(0, this.s_pos - 1);
  if (keydown(2)) this.s_pos = max(0, this.s_pos + 10);
  if (keydown(3)) this.s_pos = max(0, this.s_pos + 1);
}

Would work I suppose if you had 10 items displayed on each row. Think about it?

It really seems that way. The moment GraalControl isn't the first Responder, keydown() doesn't work.

So can I use keycodes or scancodes for special keys like TAB or SPACE? Will they be the same for Windows, Linux and Mac?
