About ctrl + Left arrow

[dkaip]

I am tryin in events to take the ctrl+left arrow event. First press ctrl, then left  key.
How i can take this event?

[Laurent]

Code: [Select]

if (event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed && event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Left && event.Key.Control)
{
    ...
}

As i see dont work ...

error: `event' was not declared in this scope

[Laurent]

Well, this is not a complete code, you have to use this line into your event loop and adapt the variables names.

Of course, the same variable can't have two values at once. Check for Control first, set a bool flag, check for Left. Reset the flag when releasing the key.

However, I think that realtime input (the sf::Input class) is more appropriate than events. How realtime input handling works is described in the tutorials.

Read my previous answer twice, this is not the code that I gave you.

Check for Control first, set a bool flag, check for Left. Reset the flag when releasing the key.

There's no need to do so, The Event::Key structure directly provides the state of modifier keys (Control, Alt, Shift).

Ok i will try to read and understud the structure...
