Return a value to event.key()?

[ark1320]

Can a value be returned from a function called by an event in a manner similar to a "regularly" called function?  For example, if I have event.key(keycode, 0, "keypressed") can a value be returned from keypressed()?

I have tried value_returned = event.key(keycode, 0, "keypressed") but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Al

I think you are misunderstanding what the event functions do... they register a function to be called when the event occurs - the actual event.key functions registers the event and returns straight away. The handling function is called when the event occurs - it could return a value but there is no point as there is nothing to handle the returned value (except the thread...).
