VTIL_AddKeyGroup

Valid for: CANoe DE • CANoe4SW DE

​
Function Syntax

  • VTIL_AddKeyGroup(dword maskIndex, dword position, dbNode workingSetMaster, dword keyGroupId); // form 1
  • VTIL_AddKeyGroup(dword maskIndex, dword position, dword workingSetMasterAddress, dword keyGroupId); // form 2
  • VTIL_AddKeyGroup(dbNode vt, dword maskIndex, dword position, dbNode workingSetMaster, dword keyGroupId); // form 3
  • VTIL_AddKeyGroup(dbNode vt, dword maskIndex, dword position, dword workingSetMasterAddress, dword keyGroupId); // form 4

​
Description

Adds a Key Group to a User-Layout Data Mask of the Virtual Terminal. VT IL does not store added Key Groups in the CANoe DE product configuration. But the VT Window stores the layout of User-Layout Masks. If the VT IL is coupled with a VT Window, then VT Window transfers the layout of User-Layout Masks to the VT IL at startup. You can remove a Key Group with VTIL_RemoveKeyGroup or VTIL_ClearUserLayoutMask.

​
Parameters

  • maskIndex: Index of the User-Layout Mask, 0..10. Value of maskIndex must be smaller than the number of User-Layout Masks (which can be configured with VTIL_SetNodeProperty).
  • position: Adds the Key Group at this position in the User-Layout Soft Key Mask, 0..64. Position must be smaller than the number of User-Layout Soft Keys (which can be configured with VTIL_SetNodeProperty).
  • workingSetMaster: Working Set Master which provides the Key Group.
  • workingSetMasterAddress: Address of the Working Set Master which provides the Key Group.
  • keyGroupId: Object ID of the Key Group.
  • vt: VT simulation node to apply the function.

​
Return Values

  • 0: Key Group is successfully added.
  • < 0: An error has occurred, see IL Error Code.

​
Example

long result;
// configure one User-Layout Mask with 10 User-Layout Soft Keys
VTIL_SetNodeProperty("numberOfUserLayoutDataMasks", 1);
VTIL_SetNodeProperty("numberOfUserLayoutSoftKeys", 10);
// add Key Group 3000 of implement with address 21 at position 0
result = VTIL_AddKeyGroup(0, 0, 21, 3000);
if (result != 0)
{
  write("Failed to add Key Group 3000 (error %i)", result);
}
// add Key Group 3001 of implement with address 22 at position 3
result = VTIL_AddKeyGroup(0, 3, 22, 3001);
if (result != 0)
{
  write("Failed to add Key Group 3001 (error %i)", result);
}

// remove Key Group at position 0
result = VTIL_RemoveKeyGroup(0, 0);
if (result != 0)
{
  write("Failed to remove Key Group at position 0 (error %i)", result);
}
// remove Key Group at position 3
result = VTIL_RemoveKeyGroup(0, 3);
if (result != 0)
{
  write("Failed to remove Key Group at position 3 (error %i)", result);
