virtual bool parseKeyboardElement(IOHIDElement *element);

Parameters

  • element:

    An IOHIDElement object to check.

Return Value

Discussion

This method checks the element to determine if it contains keyboard data suitable for dispatching in an event. If it does, the method stores a reference to the element for later use. When the driver object receives subsequent reports from the device, it uses the information in the stored keyboard elements to dispatch keyboard-specific events.
