Hi All,
I am resending this from tutor list since this seems to be appropriate place
to ask this question.
I am trying to create a custom keyboard driver program(like
http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/ ) for windows using python.
If this python script is run in the background, what is typed should be
converted into my native language.
For example if I hit 'a' in the keyboard, the output of the keyboard should
be a tamil unicode character(which will be pre-defined by user).
For making such program, I tried exploring pyHook based on this tutorial.
http://mindtrove.info/articles/monitoring-global-input-with-pyhook/
>From the tutorial, I have learned to capture the keys typed, but couldn't
understand how to change the keys before they reach the windows
applications.
Attached is the sample code I used (In this code basically I am trying to
change all the keys typed to 'b' in this code, but its not working )
Please guide me on how i can change the keys sent to the application using
pyHook. Or is there any other library that I can make use of to create such
application.
Regards,
Mugunth
import pythoncom, pyHook
def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
# Change all the keys and make them equal to b
event.__setattr__('key', 'B')
event.__setattr__('Ascii', 98)
event.__setattr__('ScanCode', 48)
event.__setattr__('KeyID', 66)
print '-----------------'
#print event.Key
print 'MessageName:',event.MessageName
print 'Message:',event.Message
print 'Time:',event.Time
print 'Window:',event.Window
print 'WindowName:',event.WindowName
print 'Ascii:', event.Ascii, chr(event.Ascii)
print 'Key:', event.Key
print 'KeyID:', event.KeyID
print 'ScanCode:', event.ScanCode
print 'Extended:', event.Extended
print 'Injected:', event.Injected
print 'Alt', event.Alt
print 'Transition', event.Transition
print '-----------------'
print '-----------------'
return True
#return (event.Ascii not in (ord('a'), ord('A')))
# create a hook manager
hm = pyHook.HookManager()
# watch for all mouse events
hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
# set the hook
hm.HookKeyboard()
# wait forever
