Warning

This command is deprecated. Use ctrlAddEventHandler instead.

Description

Caution

This information is obsolete as of Arma 2 v1.00. Reason: Use ctrlAddEventHandler instead as it can stack event handlers.

Note

• See also DIK KeyCodes for a list of key code constants relevant to key-related events like KeyDown and KeyUp

Important

When using the event names listed here with the ctrlAddEventHandler, ctrlSetEventHandler, displayAddEventHandler or displaySetEventHandler commands, the prefix "on" in the event name must be removed (e.g. 'ButtonDown' instead of 'onButtonDown').
