	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	FieldsAreEqual	Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	Get	Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetAllFields	Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetAlternateRep	This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type). (Inherited from SoNode.)

	IsBoundingBoxIgnoring	This method is used by getBoundingBox action traversal to know if the current node must be traversed or not, ie the bounding should be ignored. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	IsEventsEnabled	Queries if events are enabled for all objects of this class.
	IsNotifyEnabled	Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	IsOverride	Returns the state of the override flag. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	IsSynchronizable	Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. (Inherited from SoBase.)

Remarks

</font>

See the X3D Specification, below.

<font color="#0000FF">NOTE:</font> This class does not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later.

VRML X3D SPECIFICATION

This section describes the expected behavior of the node in a conforming X3D browser application. In some cases, the application is responsible for implementing portions of the expected behavior. Open Inventor viewer classes and IVF classes implement some of the application behaviors.

This section may reference portions of the X3D specification that are not present in this help file. The complete X3D spec is available at http://www.web3d.org.

A StringSensor node generates events as the user presses keys on the keyboard. A StringSensor node can be enabled or disabled by sending it an enabled event with a value of true or false. If the StringSensor node is disabled, it does not track keyboard input or send events.

enteredText events are generated as keys which produce characters are pressed on the keyboard. The value of this event is the UTF-8 string entered including the latest character struck. The set of UTF-8 characters that can be generated will vary between different keyboards and different implementations.

If a deletionAllowed has value true, the previously entered character in the enteredText is removed when the browser-recognized value for deleting the preceding character of a string is entered. Typically, this value is defined by the local operating system. If deletionAllowed has value false, characters may only be added to the string; deletion of characters will not be allowed. Should the browser-recognized value for deleting the preceding character is entered, it will be ignored.

The finalText event is generated whenever the browser-recognized value for terminating a string is entered. Typically, this value is defined by the local operating system. When this recognition occurs, the finalText field generates an event with value equal to that of enteredText. After the finalText field event has been generated, the enteredText field is set to the empty string but no event is generated.

When the user begins typing, the StringSensor sends an isActive event with value true. When the string is terminated, the StringSensor sends an isActive event with value false.

The StringSensor is not affected by its position in the transformation hierarchy.

See "Key device sensor component" for more details.
