<On Key Actions in XML

[dhsimm4021]

I am using P3DV4.5. I have an aircraft with which I created most of the gauges in XML for FSX. A work well with P3D.

I am creating a home built cockpit and want to use a large keypad and a couple of Arduino boards with Mobiflight.

The keypad sends keystrokes to the Sim. I can use mostly P3D keypress controls. However, I want to send On Key input (using Tab+.....) to update multiple L:Vars per key combo. This would replace "Mouse Areas" in the selected gauges.

The examples mostly show updating K: type events. Can someone show how specifically to code key press to update several L:Vars with a keypress?

Never used <on key commands yet. Been using gauges since FS9. Please be specific. Most answers assume on is familiar wit the commands. The examples in the wiki are too general.

Thanks

Maybe i don't understand your Question..
An example
I press "Z"

<!-- Key Z for TAXI Off -->
    <On Key="90">

<!-- NavMain_Listings.xml  **** Keyboard Input is ON -->
      (L:NavM_INPT_Keybd,bool)
      if{
        quit
        }

      (L:TILL_Control_On,bool)
      if{
        @McrTILL_ClearVars
        1 (&gt;L:DSD_TECH_AP_Knob_Ctr_SD,number)
        0 (&gt;L:TILL_Control_On,bool)
        }

      (L:TILL_TaxiSpeed_BT,bool)
      if{
        0 (&gt;L:TILL_TaxiSpeed_BT,bool)
        1 (&gt;L:DSD_TECH_Button_SD,number)
        }
    </On>
