Hi Alexander,
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Win32 API for keyboard bindings so
I've to dive into the GraphicsWindowWin32.cpp to understand your
suggestion about passing a "VirtualKey". From reading the code it
looks to me like the VirtualKey is Win32 specific which would mean the
client code would also need to be platform specific so an ideal
candidate for integration.
>From what I can make of the functionality you are after what you are
after is an unmodified key, i.e. no shift/no control key modification
- just the raw key code.
Reviewing the GraphicsWindowWin32::adaptKey(..) method the lines of code:
else if ((keySymbol & 0xff00)==0)
{
char asciiKey[2];
int numChars = ::ToAscii(wParam, (lParam>>16)&0xff, keyState,
reinterpret_cast<WORD*>(asciiKey), 0);
if (numChars>0) keySymbol = asciiKey[0];
}
Look to me to be the ones that are likely to be applying the key
modification. If this is correct then passing the modifying keySymbol
as well as the modified keySymbol should be sufficient. This would
still require osgGA::GUIEventAdatper to have a new
getRawKey()/getUnmodifiedKey() field and osgViewer to be tweaked to
set this new field, but I open to this.
Thoughts?
Robert.
