Anyone got the keycode maps in a handy form? Easier than working them
all out manually!
I know it is in the manual, which I no longer have.

COLOR TABLES (4.0)
There are 50 colors used by Paradox 4.0 in
"standard" mode. There are 25 colors used
by Paradox 4.0 in "compatible" mode.
You can create a dynarray with the palette
of current colors with .
These global colors can be changed from a
dynarray with ; the color for
negative values can be set with
.
You can also set colors of individual
windows with and
.
The indexes 1000-1070 represent colors
that are used in Paradox standard mode.
The indexes for 0-31 represent colors in
compatibility mode.

Disappearing Windows (4.x)
While in Main, Edit and CoEdit modes with
multiple tables and forms displayed on the
workspace, you will find related tables
appearing and disappearing as you move among
the images. Paradox removes "conflicting"
images while you're viewing a form that
contains one of the tables on the workspace
as a linked form.
For example, imagine this scenario: TableA
has a single form, which includes TableB as a
linked embedded table. TableB has two Forms:
Form1, which appears on TableAm, and FormF,
which is a standard single-record form.
TableA and TableB are placed on the desktop
in tableview.
1. TableA's formview is selected: the
tableview of TableB will disappear.
2. TableB's Form1 is selected, then tableview
of TableA is selected and its form is
placed on the desktop: the tableview for
TableB will disappear, but not the
formview.
3. TableB's FormF is selected, then tableview
of TableA is selected and its form is
placed on the desktop: both of TableB's
images will disappear until the tableview
of TableA is once again selected.
In all of the above scenarios, the tableview
of TableB is restored when TableA's tableview
becomes the current image.
In none of the above scenarios will the
formview for TableA disappear.
As you may imagine, the situation gets much
more complex as different relationships are
examined. You should fully understand the
behaviour of *your* tables and forms before
attempting to write an application.

Events
Paradox 3.x is driven by keystrokes.
Paradox 4.x is driven by events. An
event is a measurable action, whether
external, like a keystroke or a mouse
click, or internal, for example, from
the passing of time (an "IDLE" event).
There are four types of events in PAL.
Three are caused by user interaction and
the fourth is caused the passing of time.
Events aren't simply described;
to accommodate the varying nature of the
event, Paradox uses a dynamic array to
hold the information required to describe
and enable you to examine or recreate
the event.
There are four types of events:
external
external
internal
internal
Each are described by the values in four
distinct DynArrays.
The command captures an event into
a dynamic array. An can recreate an
event based on a valid dynamic array for that
event. In Paradox 4.5, events can be placed
into the stream for later execution with
and .
Mouse and Keyboard events can be described
with the indexes and values described in the
following tables. The MOUSE, KEY, and MESSAGE
event dynamic arrays can also contain the
keyboard state indexes described for the
command.
Mouse Events
Mouse events can be captured with .
A valid mouse event must have values for the
following dynamic array elements. This
dynarray can also contain keyboard info (as
with ).
Dynarray
Index Value
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
"TYPE" "MOUSE"
"ROW" Row number relative to screen.
"COL" Col number relative to screen.
"BUTTONS" "LEFT" for left mouse button;
"RIGHT" for right button.
"DOUBLECLICK" True for double-click;
False otherwise.
"ACTION" "DOWN" upon button down;
"UP" upon release;
"AUTO" when holding down
without moving.
Example:
~ Dynarray MOUSE.Y[] ;Left Click
MOUSE.Y["TYPE"] = "MOUSE"
MOUSE.Y["ROW"] = 9
MOUSE.Y["COL"] = 18
MOUSE.Y["BUTTONS"] = "LEFT"
MOUSE.Y["ACTION"] = "DOWN"
MOUSE.Y["DOUBLECLICK"] = False ~
See: to translate the
coordinates of a array to
correspond to the current window;
to reverse a
LOCALIZEEVENT; .
KEY EVENTS
A dynamic array representing a KEY event must
contain a TYPE index and either a SCANCODE or
a . If both are present and there is
a conflict between the two, the SCANCODE will
override the KEYCODE. Key events can be created
with and executed with or
placed into the event stream for later
execution with and .
In addition to the two or three DynArray
indexes listed below, will create a
full state of the keyboard as created with
.
Dynarray
Index Value
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
"TYPE" "KEY" for a key event
"SCANCODE" Number that represents the
code associated with the
key by the system BIOS.
"KEYCODE" Number that represents the
ASCII or IBM extended code.
Example:
~ ;F10 keypress can be represented
Dynarray EVENT.Y[]
EVENT.Y["TYPE"] = "KEY"
EVENT.Y["SCANCODE"] = 17408
EVENT.Y["KEYCODE"] = -68 ~
See:
Message Events
A dynamic array representing a MESSAGE event
must contain the following index elements and
one of its corresponding values:
Dynarray
Index Value
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
"TYPE" "MESSAGE"
"MESSAGE" "CLOSE" Close current window.
"RESIZE" Resize current window.
"MAXIMIZE" Maximize/Restore
current window.
"NEXT" Select next window.
"MENUSELECT" menu
selected.
"MENUKEY" Key in UNTIL list of
SHOWPULLDOWN.
"MENUTAG" For "MENUSELECT" and "MENUKEY",
the tag associated with the
SHOWPULLDOWN choice.
Idle Events
A dynamic array representing an IDLE event
must contain a single index, "TYPE", that
is assigned the value "IDLE".
~ DYNARRAY Event.y[]
Event["TYPE"] = "IDLE"
See:
WAIT Triggers
While traps MOUSE, KEY, MESSAGE, and
IDLE events, additional events can be trapped
during a or a .
During the WAIT/ENDWAIT, you can trap for
special events called Triggers.
Triggers are database events that can be used
to control or direct user interaction within
tables. By specifying triggers in the
EventList in a WAIT, you can can carefully
control how the wait behaves. Triggers are of
two classes, "BEFORE" and "AFTER".
ù "BEFORE" triggers allow you trap and deny
the event.
ù "AFTER" triggers are purely informational;
they inform you that an event has occurred.
