Events - Keyman Engine for Web

---

A number of events are exposed to allow the designer of a user interface to control the appearance and behavior of user interface elements. Standard event-processing requires all arguments to be passed as an array (object) with named member variables.

Two components of Keyman Engine for Web specify events:

• keyman object -- the main component
• keyman.osk object -- the on-screen keyboard component

Object events are handled in user code by passing the handler entry to the object, using addEventListener().

keyman events

beforekeyboardchange : Called when keyboard input language about to change.

controlblurred : Called when input element loses focus.

controlfocused : Called when input element receives focus.

keyboardchange : Called when keyboard input language changed.

keyboardloaded : Called when keyboard code loaded.

keyboardregistered : Called when keyboard 'stub' processed (for listing as available keyboard).

loaduserinterface : Called when allow ui initialization.

unloaduserinterface : Called when allow ui clean-up.

For example, to define a user function to handle the KeymanWeb keyboardchange event, include:

keyman.addEventListener('keyboardchange',
  function(p)
  {
    ui.updateMenu(p.internalName,p.languageCode);
  });

helpclick : Called when allows the UI to present a help page.

hide : Called when OSK hidden.

resizemove : Called when OSK resized or moved on desktop.

For example, to add an event handler that modifies the user interface when the on-screen keyboard is displayed:

keyman.osk.addEventListener('show',
  function(p)
  {
    ui.updateUI(p.x, p.y, p.userLocated);
  });
