Upper case keyboard?

Question

 

m_sInKey = Char::ToString((char)e->KeyValue::get());

 

always returns upper case characters in a keyboard event handler.

Any idea what's wrong?

 

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with that handler, but it's possible that it expects you to check the shift / capslock status at the time of the event. Perhaps that's also exposed through the event.

Answer 2

Thanks,

I changed it to this:

 

int iKey;

if(e->Shift == true)

iKey = e->KeyValue::get();

else

iKey = e->KeyValue::get() + 32;

m_sInKey = Char::ToString((char)iKey);

 

 

That works for alpha keys, but not punctuation, numerals, etc.

I'll have to run a bunch of filters...

Answer 3

Is that the KeyEventArgs.KeyValue Property? If so then the sample code there shows that there are many other related properties.
