WoW API: GetBindingText
This function is implemented in Lua here FrameXML/UIParent.lua.
text = GetBindingText(key,prefix)
Returns the (localized?) string value for the given key and prefix. Essentially a glorified getglobal() function.
Parameters
Arguments
- (String key, String prefix)
- key
- String - The name of the key (e.g. "UP", "SHIFT-PAGEDOWN")
- prefix
- String - The prefix of the variable name you're looking for. Usually "KEY_" or "BINDING_NAME_".
Returns
- value
- String - The (localized?) value of the global variable composed of the prefix and key name you specified. For example, "UP" and "KEY_" would return the value of the global variable KEY_UP which is "Up Arrow" in the english locale. If the global variable doesn't exist for the combination specified, it appears to just return the key name you specified.
Example
val = GetBindingText("UP", "KEY_");
-- val is "Up Arrow"
