[Resolved] Solution to avoid if statement ?

Hi All,

i'd like to know if there is a way to avoid the use of if/elseif in a specific case.

under GLUT you can use the specialfunc that return an int with the key it.


I'd like to know if I can do this to turn to TRUE/FALSE 1/0 a register :



It compiles but does never return TRUE / 1 even if the key is pressed ..
Is there something similar to this to avoid if/elseif ... ?

Kindest Regards,

Most people use a switch statement, but I see no reason why your code wouldn't work. I am wondering what exactly you are trying to achieve with that code. If you're hoping to be able to detect multiple key presses then that code won't work; every time one key is pressed, all of the other fields in that structure will be cleared to false (e.g., push F2, and F1 is cleared).

@Hans
in fact I do this for all keys handled so it will automatically set to 1 or 0 the key depending if it is pressed or not
without having to use a switch or if.

Re explaining :


After this user can use :

BOOL D = F1Pressed()
will return D = TRUE / 1 if key is pressed or FALSE / 0 if key is not pressed

I was thinking that ( key == GLUT_KEY_F1 ) = 1 if key F1 is pressed and = 0 if key is not pressed. But apparently not.


EDIT.
I've found the correct solution:
it work under glutKeyboardFunc( ... ) and not under glutSpecialFunc( ... ) :

I will store keys in my structure in the same order than scancode so they can be accessed easyli with commands I'll do like :
int KeyPressed = DEKeyPressed()
int KeyID = DEScanCode( int KeyID )

It now correctly work :)
