Method Detail

processKeyChar

public static void processKeyChar(Workspace workspace,
                                  java.awt.event.KeyEvent key)

Processes user-generated keyEvent. This method is intended to react in one of three ways: 1. It should traverse the block canvas; that is, it should move the cursor the the next appropriate block. 2. It should display a graphical interface (also called the "View" interface of TypeBlockManager) to assist the user in selecting the a pre-defined pattern. 3. It should parse the key event and drop down the appropriate block as well as make the needed connections. Both Key_Pressed and Kep_Types events must pass through here

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace in use

key -
