How to define shortcut keys for POS?

Hi,

I'd like to define shortcut keys for product buttons.
For example, pressing Alt+G would act as pressing the
button GIZMO 1. This would enhance usability.

Doc comments in Keyboard.java tell me that key to code
mapping is in jpos.xml, and code to button mapping is
in buttonevents.xml.

numeric.xml tells me widget id (numOne) and widget text (1)

buttonevents.xml tells me widget id (numOne) and handler (triggerOne
method of org.ofbiz.pos.event.NumericEvents)

I still dont see the code to button mapping as the doc comment
indicates in Keyboard.java.

Q1/ It seems to me that jpos.xml contains only additional
key to code bindings. Where are the other codes? E.g.
what happens when I press '1'?

Q2/ I dont see any codes in buttonevents.xml. Where is
the code to button mapping?

Q3/ Is there a dtd/schema available for these XUI cfg
files? (Would help to assess the capability of these
configs instead of making guesses based on gathered
cfg files)

Thanks,
András

Andras,

Look at the mapping for the Enter key.

ReHow to define shortcut keys for POS?

Ok, I got it, I see Enter is defined with code 500.

Now how can I define a code for Alt+G?

And how can I get the 'default' codes which are not
specified in jpos.xml? E.g. what happens when I press '1'
for which there is no code in jpos.xml?

Thanks,
András

Re: ReHow to define shortcut keys for POS?

In reply to this post by Andrew Sykes

Andras,

Ok, so for a new shortcut...
jpos.xml
<prop name="key.VK_F1+SHIFT" type="String" value="297"/>

buttonevents.xml
<button-events>

<event button-name="numOne" class-
name="org.ofbiz.pos.event.NumericEvents" method-name="triggerOne"
disable-lock="true"/>
<event button-name="numOne" key-code="297" class-
name="org.ofbiz.pos.event.NumericEvents" method-name="triggerOne"
disable-lock="true"/>

So now pressing SHIFT+F1 triggers the triggerOne method.

- Andrew

value attribute, I think is an arbitrary integer, perhaps someone else
can confirm

Andras, Andrew,

Yes, AFAIK value attribute is an arbitrary integer that you deal with after (see 500 for Enter, and 501 for Esc, in POS).

Re[4]: How to define shortcut keys for POS?

Guys, I'd like to stick to the Alt+G example.

I've been playing around and found that
- SHIFT and CTRL modifiers work, ALT do not (no idea why)
- VK_G and VK_1 are also virtual keys (I did not expect that)

Further problem is that SKU.GZ-1001 is defined in posmain.xml, and
I don't know how to tie it to lets say code 505, as key-code is
not an attr of the Button element in posmain.xml.

Some docs would be nice on this topic.

Thanks,
András

András,

I will try to take some time tomorrow to have a look at it. Just a promise ;o)

Andras,

Did you get through this finally ? Sorry, did not find enough time to seriously look at it yet.

Jacques,

No problem.

No progress here, as we decided to use a Swing GUI.
The question is still open.

Thanks,
