MouseEventArgs Object

Derived from: EventArgs Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/UserInterface/MouseEventArgs.h>

Description

Provides a set of arguments from a firing MouseEvent to a MouseEventHandler's notify callback method.

Methods

Name Description
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().

Properties

Name Description
button Gets which mouse button(s) are pressed. The returned value is bitwise and can indicate that more than one button is pressed.
clicks Gets the number of times the button was pressed and released.
firingEvent The event that the firing is in response to.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
keyboardModifiers Gets which modifier keys are currently pressed. The returned value is bitwise and can indicate that more than one button is pressed.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
position Gets the coordinate of the mouse in screen space.
viewport Returns the viewport where the mouse event occurred, if it was within a viewport. If the mouse is not over a viewport this property will return null.
viewportPosition Gets the coordinate of the mouse in viewport space, if the mouse is within a viewport. If the mouse is not over a viewport this property will return null.
wheelDelta Gets a signed count of the number of detents the mouse wheel has rotated.
