Virtual keys
« on: May 22, 2010, 08:25:15 pm »
I have just started using lazarus today and before that I used delphi. My question is how do you call for the use of the arrow keys. In delphi vk_down, vk_up, etc was sufficient however lazarus does not recognize it is their another name for them in lazarus?

Here is the key down procedure

procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState
  );
var x, y, row, col : integer;
begin
  board[mRow, mCol] := floor;
 case key of
 vk_up : begin
          if mRow > 1
          then dec(mRow);
          end;

 vk_down : begin
          if mRow < maxRow
          then inc(mRow);
          end;
 vk_left : begin
          if mCol > 1
          then dec(mCol);
          end;
 vk_right : begin
          if mCol < maxCol
          then inc(mCol);
          end;
          showboard;
 end;

include the LCLType unit in your uses.

Some units are different in Lazarus, in order to better accomodate the various platforms
