Ctrl fails to execute

archive
archive over 18 years ago

I am trying to bind a command to Ctrl but the command does not get called. I can bind this to other DrawThrus but not Ctrl. I see that the binding took when I check with hiGetBindKey. I can see that the ctrl press gets through too as the mouse clicks change to the ctrl bindings. Anyone have an idea why this would not take? Thanks

    I use this and it works very well. However, since the mouse wheel can move pretty fast, it is often received as a double mouse click by Cadence. To get the bindkey to work consistently, you'll want to define the double click setting as well. For me, I use Shift and the mouse wheel, so here are the bindkeys I set (surround all the Btn4Down keywords with angle brackets and no space after the Shift):

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift Btn4Down" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift Btn4Down(2)" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift Btn4Down EF" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift Btn4Down(2) EF" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
