Mac OS X only:
Based on the values entered, the appropriate mouse-down, mouse-up, mouse-move, or mouse-drag events are generated, by comparing the new state with the current state.

PresskeyMBS.MouseMoveClick(globalx as integer,globaly as integer,down as boolean, rightdown as boolean)
method, Remote Control, MBS ComputerControl Plugin (Presskey), class PresskeyMBS, Plugin version: 8.1, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.

Function: Moves the mouse cursor and clicks the mouse with the given buttons.
Notes: Same as MouseMoveClick, but with an additional rightdown parameter.

PresskeyMBS.Option as boolean
property, Remote Control, MBS ComputerControl Plugin (Presskey), class PresskeyMBS, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.

PresskeyMBS.press
method, Remote Control, MBS ComputerControl Plugin (Presskey), class PresskeyMBS, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.

Function: Presses a key.
Example:

' example for Mac OS X:
dim p as PresskeyMBS

p=new PresskeyMBS
p.shift=true
p.charcode=asc("H")
p.keycode=4
p.press 'press H
p.shift=false
p.charcode=asc("e")
p.keycode=14
p.press 'press e
p.charcode=asc("l")
p.keycode=37
p.press 'press l
p.press 'press l
p.charcode=asc("o")
p.keycode=31
p.press 'press o

' example for Windows:

dim p as PresskeyMBS

editfield1.setfocus 'so we get something in it!

p=new PresskeyMBS
p.shift=true
p.charcode=asc("H")
p.virtualCode=-1 'automatically try to get this code
p.press 'press H
p.shift=false
p.virtualCode=-1 'after a call you find the virtualCode there
p.charcode=asc("e")
p.press 'press e
p.virtualCode=-1
p.charcode=asc("l")
p.press 'press l
p.press 'press l
p.virtualCode=-1
p.charcode=asc("o")
p.press 'press o

Notes:
Simulates a keypress and handles the Settings for Shift, Control, Command and Option key.
Command shows no reaction in my tests for Mac OS Classic
On Windows, if you set virtualcode=-1 this method will set it to the code matching the charcode property.

The Mac version sets the lasterror property.

PresskeyMBS.pressraw(down as boolean)
method, Remote Control, MBS ComputerControl Plugin (Presskey), class PresskeyMBS, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.

Function: Presses a key.
Example:

' Works perfectly on Mac OS X but Shift can't be done Raw on Mac OS 9:
dim p as PresskeyMBS

p=new PresskeyMBS

p.charcode=0
p.keycode=&h38
p.pressraw true 'shift down

p.charcode=asc("H")
p.keycode=4
p.pressraw true 'press H
p.pressraw false

p.charcode=0
p.keycode=&h38
p.pressraw false 'shift up

p.charcode=asc("e")
p.keycode=14
p.pressraw true 'press e
p.pressraw false
p.charcode=asc("l")
p.keycode=37
p.pressraw true 'press l
p.pressraw false
p.pressraw true 'press l
p.pressraw false
p.charcode=asc("o")
p.keycode=31
p.pressraw true 'press o
p.pressraw false

Notes:
Simulates a keypress and doesn't handle the Settings for Shift, Control, Command and Option key.
On Windows, if you set virtualcode=-1 this method will set it to the code matching the charcode property.

The Mac version sets the lasterror property.

PresskeyMBS.Shift as boolean
property, Remote Control, MBS ComputerControl Plugin (Presskey), class PresskeyMBS, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.

Function: Tells the Press method to press down shift before and release it after it simulates the key press.
Example:

dim p as PresskeyMBS

p=new PresskeyMBS
p.shift=true
p.charcode=asc("1")
p.keycode=18
p.press 'press !

Notes: (Read and Write property)

PresskeyMBS.VirtualCode as integer
property, Remote Control, MBS ComputerControl Plugin (Presskey), class PresskeyMBS, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.

Function: The virtual keycode to press.
Example:

dim p as PresskeyMBS
p=new PresskeyMBS
p.charcode="m"
p.virtualcode=-1
p.press ' makes a "m" on Windows.

Notes:
If you don't know this code, just pass -1 and this value will be filled automatically using the charcode property.
After you call press or pressraw you'll find the matching virtualcode in this property.
