BUG? e_Key returns wrong value

[SonG0han]

Hi! I wanted to show a combobox with options if someone enters "/" in the input field.

the manual says / is the code 191 or 111 for the numpad /. But if you use 111 it does not trigger, instead it just returns 55 which is the code for the key "7" (you use SHIFT+7 for the /). But it should return the code 111 if you enter a "/", right? :huh

I am currently on Ver6 but e_Key returns the correct values i.e. 111 and 191 here. You haven't got some sort of alternative keyboard driver or mapping have you?

Yes, it returned the correct values 191 and 111 for me as well, but in version 7.0.

Is there anything unique about your system?

hmm I use Win XP SP2 with Bootcamp on my iMac and use the apple keyboard. all other keys seem to work but the "/" returns the code of the 7. The numpad-/ works.

I used this as workaround:
if (e_Key == 55 and e_Modifiers.shift == true) or e_Key == 111 then
and it seems to work. Will this work if / returns 191 or should I add it?

[Darryl]

Yes, I would add the 191 as well so it works for both the numpad and regular keyboard character.

Ok, thanks. :)

Don't know why it returns the wrong value but I used the Apple Drivers on the Leopard DVD for WinXP (Bootcamp).

/EDIT: the same applies for ;, instead of 186 it returns 188 (,).

Found another one: the e_Key for the key "ü" is the same as ";" - is this the same for all German Keybords or is this just an issue with Bootcamp and the Apple Keyboard?
