C variables in SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent()

[TYC4496]

Hi All,

I would like to map 0,1,..9 keystroke in a Simconnect application. Although the following code works :

hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(NewSimConnect, EVENT_0);
hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(NewSimConnect, INPUT_NUM, "0", EVENT_0);
hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(NewSimConnect, GROUP_NUM, EVENT_0);
//
hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(NewSimConnect, EVENT_1);
hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(NewSimConnect, INPUT_NUM, "1", EVENT_1);
hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(NewSimConnect, GROUP_NUM, EVENT_1);
//
and so on...

I was thinking to do something more concise in the following way :

char* num = (char*)malloc(4 * sizeof(char));
char* eve = (char*)malloc(8 * sizeof(char));
for(int n=0; n<=9; n++) {
	sprintf(num, "\"%1d\"", n);
	sprintf(eve, "EVENT_%1d", n);

        hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(NewSimConnect, eve);
        hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(NewSimConnect, INPUT_NUM, num, eve);
        hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(NewSimConnect, GROUP_NUM, eve);
	}

where num and eve will be the string "0", EVENT_O ; "1", EVENT_1 ; and so on...

However it doesn't work because num and eve are not replace by there values in the SimConnect arguments....

Does anybody know if it's possible to do it the way I was thinking ?

Thanks.

The event code has to be an int, not a string, so the code for the eve var is incorrect. Instead you would want something like:

int eve_code = (int)EVENT_0 + n;

Hi Tim,

Thanks. I will give it a try

Hi Tim,

Thanks it works (with the additional change sprintf(num, "%1d", n) because num is already a string no need of the \").
