Trouble: KeyPressed/KeyReleased in other class

beginners
#1

I create a class “Ball” . In this I created the “Ball :: keypressed” and “Ball :: keyReleased” methods. Ex…

void Ball::keyPressed(){
      if(key== OF_KEY_RIGHT){
            right += 5;
        } else if (key== OF_KEY_LEFT){
           left -= 5;
        }

I would like to make them run with the keys, calling them directly from ofApp. Ex:

void ofApp::keyPressed(int key){
      Ball.keypressed();
      }

I have no idea how to do it. Can someone help me?

try adding a ofAddListener to your class listening to the keyboard event:

add:
    ofAddListener(ofEvents.keyPressed, this, &MyClass::mykeyPressed);

remove:
    ofRemoveListener(ofEvents().keyPressed, this, &MyClass::mykeyPressed);

thank you. Could you explain me better? I never used a listener and I do not know how to use it.

check this example:

#include "ofMain.h"

class MyClass {
        public:
        void setup()
        {
                ofAddListener(ofEvents().keyPressed, this, &MyClass::mykeyPressed);
        }

        void mykeyPressed(ofKeyEventArgs& eventArgs) { ofLog()<<"MyClass:: "<< eventArgs.key; }

        void exit()
        {
                ofRemoveListener(ofEvents().keyPressed, this, &MyClass::mykeyPressed);
        }
};

class ofApp: public ofBaseApp{
        public:
        MyClass my;

        void setup()
        {
                my.setup();
        }

        void exit()
        {
                my.exit();
        }

        void draw() {
        }
};

int main( ){
        ofSetupOpenGL(1024,768, OF_WINDOW);
        ofRunApp( new ofApp());
}
