On KeyPressDown and Click

[papaoutai]

Hi,

I am looking into combining two function to print a condition.

I took the example from two different posts on the forum showing the function for keydown and the function click to get the price data but I am not sure how to create a condition that will map both the function.

As a reference code to get the keydown press and code to get the coordinate of the click

if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{

if (ChartPanel != null)
{

this.ChartPanel.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventHandler(OnKeyDown);
this.ChartPanel.KeyUp += new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventHandler(OnKeyUp);

}
}


else if (State == State.Historical)
{
if (ChartControl != null)
{
foreach (ChartScale scale in ChartPanel.Scales)
if (scale.ScaleJustification == ScaleJustification)
chartScale = scale;

ChartControl.MouseLeftButtonDown += MouseClicked;
}
}


else if (State == State.Terminated)
{

if (ChartPanel != null)
{

this.ChartPanel.KeyDown -= OnKeyDown;
this.ChartPanel.KeyUp -= OnKeyUp;
ChartControl.MouseLeftButtonDown -= MouseClicked;

}
}



}


private bool cntKey = false;
public void OnKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl && !cntKey)
{
cntKey = true;
Print("Down");
}
}

public void OnKeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl && cntKey)
{
cntKey = false;
// Print("Up");
}
}


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{}
//Add your custom indicator logic here.



protected void MouseClicked(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{


// convert e.GetPosition for different dpi settings
clickPoint.X = ChartingExtensions.ConvertToHorizontalPixels(e.Get Position(ChartControl as IInputElement).X, ChartControl.PresentationSource);
clickPoint.Y = ChartingExtensions.ConvertToVerticalPixels(e.GetPo sition(ChartControl as IInputElement).Y, ChartControl.PresentationSource);

convertedPrice = Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize(chartS cale.GetValueByY((float)clickPoint.Y));

convertedTime = ChartControl.GetTimeBySlotIndex((int)ChartControl. GetSlotIndexByX((int)clickPoint.X));

Draw.TextFixed(this, "priceTime", string.Format("Price: {0}, Time: {1}", convertedPrice, convertedTime), TextPosition.BottomLeft);

ForceRefresh();
}

Now what I want to achieve is something where I can combine the two function in one condition to output

if ([B][COLOR=#3498db]e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl && !cntKey[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#9b59b6]&& [B]Click[/B][/COLOR]) {

Draw.TextFixed(this, "priceTime", string.Format("Price: {0}, Time: {1}", convertedPrice, convertedTime), TextPosition.BottomLeft);

}

Thanks

Hello papaoutai, thanks for writing in.

In the Click even you will need to check for IsKeyDown (publicly available link):
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...n?view=net-5.0

This way you can get the event when the mouse is clicked, then within that event you can check if a specific key is pressed and execute code if that method returns true.

Best regards,
