What is the correct way to handle letter input on FL_KEYBOARD event? Using FLTK 1.1.9 (X11) event_text() gives me UTF-8 encoded text. Is this always the case?, can I count on it being UTF-8 on all platforms?
Character conversion is not a problem as long as I know what to expect. My scenario: 1- I want special handling of some function keys (FL_Tab etc..) this works fine via Fl::event_key(). 2- "Ordinary" letters should be send somewhere (composed and with correct case.) How can I achieve 2? event_key() gives me keyboard button codes (where most happens to map as 8859-1), Since these are keycodes they miss shift-symbols and casing etc). event_text() gives me UTF-8 encoded text but correct symbols and case. Did I understand the documentation below correctly that event_text() can be used for keyboard events? http://www.fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/Fl.html#Fl.event_text says: Returns the text associated with the current FL_PASTE or FL_DND_RELEASE event. however http://www.fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/events.html says: The text that the key should insert can be found with Fl::event_text() and its length is in Fl::event_length() Thanks in advance, //Jakob _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
