Author Topic: Is there any way to recognize the numpad period key? (Read 5679 times)

timewarp · « **on:** June 27, 2011, 08:33:18 pm »

I'm trying to get text input from the user, so I need to be able to read in any key press and update a text field accordingly. When I try to read in the numpad period/delete key, the event always returns the key as 0 when numlock is on, but returns Delete when numlock is off. Any suggestions?

Edit: I'm using SFML 2.0 r5469

Key codes are currently badly handled in SFML, don't waste too much time if you get problems with key codes.

Use instead (?):

Code: [Select]


if (event.Type == sf::Event::TextEntered){

 if (event.Text.Unicode == 8 ){ //8 is 'enter' in this example

 ... do stuff...

 }
}

TextEntered event is a totally different thing, it provides characters rather than keyboard keys.

Ok, thanks.
