Interface StringSensor

All Superinterfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode, X3DNode, X3DSensorNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
StringSensor
public interface StringSensor extends X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode
StringSensor generates events as the user presses keys on the keyboard.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. StringSensor node tooltip: [X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode] StringSensor generates events as the user presses keys on the keyboard. Browser support includes the notion of "keyboard focus".
Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).

  • Method Details

    • getDeletionAllowed

      boolean getDeletionAllowed()
      Provide boolean value from inputOutput SFBool field named deletionAllowed.

      Tooltip: If deletionAllowed is true, then previously entered character in enteredText can be removed. If deletionAllowed is false, then characters may only be added to the string.
      • Hint: deletion key is typically defined by local system.
      Returns:
      value of deletionAllowed field

    • setDeletionAllowed

      StringSensor setDeletionAllowed(boolean newValue)
      Accessor method to assign boolean value to inputOutput SFBool field named deletionAllowed.

      Tooltip: If deletionAllowed is true, then previously entered character in enteredText can be removed. If deletionAllowed is false, then characters may only be added to the string.
      • Hint: deletion key is typically defined by local system.
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the deletionAllowed field.
      Returns:
      StringSensor - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getDescription

      String getDescription()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named description.

      Tooltip: Author-provided prose that describes intended purpose of the node.
      • Hint: many XML tools substitute XML character references for special characters automatically if needed within an attribute value (such as & for & ampersand character, or " for " quotation-mark character).
      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode
      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface X3DSensorNode
      Returns:
      value of description field

    • setDescription

      StringSensor setDescription(String newValue)
      Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named description.

      Tooltip: Author-provided prose that describes intended purpose of the node.
      • Hint: many XML tools substitute XML character references for special characters automatically if needed within an attribute value (such as & for & ampersand character, or " for " quotation-mark character).
      Specified by:
      setDescription in interface X3DKeyDeviceSensorNode

      • Warning: it is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead only use it a source for ROUTE events.
      Specified by:
