Text input C#
« on: January 04, 2016, 04:33:48 am »
Hello,
I am working on a game engine, and have created a text entry dialog, but cannot get text to display correctly in my text object, it seems that the character codes are not being properly passed through correctly or I just don't know how to make it work, and require assistance. If anyone feels compelled to help, code is attached.

Use the TextEntered event for text input. The KeyEventArgs.code is an enum for keys that only correspond to internal values (not any standards such as ANSI or Unicode).

Not working, should I use Keypressed and keyreleased to get and save the char.

Not working

Not working how? You need to be specific. Post a complete and minimal example (don't just upload your code and ask us to find the issue). The TextEntered event is what you need to use for text input.

Ok, here is what I have a problem with now, the input is stored however the text disappears after a key is pressed, and that's annoying so how do I remedy that?

There is no way for me to know that, since it is a logic error in your code that is something you must figure out. If you have never used the debugger now is the perfect time to learn.  ;)
