CDU CLR button in NGX's SDK

[wyw_haha 0]

Hi everyone，

 

I would like to control CDU buttons by SDK of NGX. Now I can control all buttons normally except CLR button. I use these method:

 

......

      int parameter=0;

 

      hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect,EVENT_CDU_L_CLR, "#70234");

 

      if (parameter)

           parameter=1;

      else

          parameter=0;

 

      SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent(hSimConnect, 0, EVENT_CDU_L_CLR, 1, 

      SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);

......

 

If I push CLR button via SDK quickly,  it clears one character in scratch pad line first, then all characters disappear. It seems like I hold the CLR button for a while. But I just want to delete one character.

 

I have tried the other method to send CLR button to NGX but nothing changed.

 

Do you have any ideal?

 

Thanks！

I'm not very code savvy so you may have implemented this above, but are you sending the key up command after the key press command, perhaps that is why it is acting like it is being held? I know the developer of the VRinsight CDU2 has the exact same problem with the SDK's for NGX and 777, even with the iFly 737 it does the same thing.

Thanks a lot!

 

Actually I have the same problem with 777X  too. I tried some method to find the key up command but failed. Did the developer of the VRinsight CDU2 solved the problem eventually?

There is a little issue above.

 

 if (parameter)

           parameter=0;

      else

          parameter=1;

 

But it is not the reason...

No unfortunately not that I am aware of, thats why I suggested the above. Perhaps some of this below may be worth a try if you know how to use it.

MOUSE_FLAG_WHEEL_UP             16384    //0x00004000
MOUSE_FLAG_WHEEL_DOWN         8192    //0x00002000

I'm thinking sending this;

MOUSE_FLAG_LEFTSINGLE         536870912

Then this;

MOUSE_FLAG_LEFTRELEASE         131072

May achieve what you want, I am probably wrong though.

 

 

There is more on the page below if you are interested in looking.

Some of the 777 SDK just doesn't work at all, one example is the aircon temperature dials;

 

EVT_OH_AIRCOND_TEMP_SELECTOR_FLT_DECK             (69771)    
EVT_OH_AIRCOND_TEMP_SELECTOR_CABIN                 (69772)    

 

The second one works fine 69772 but the first one doesn't 69771.

Thank you very much!

 

I will try this and reply you if it works!
