Can you try setting System.useCodepage =
true and see if that changes which values you get?
KeyDown Event returns incorrect ascii values when
used with a spanish
layout keyboard.
I followed the calculator tutorial
<http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/calculator.html>
and tried to extend it to accept keyboard input.
I noticed that the ascii values are returned,
according to the
documentation, based on an us english layout
keyboard.
It works as documented, but not as I
expected. I think that function is
completely useless for people with a non-us
keyboard,
and keyboard layout cannot be assumed, as we are
developing applications
for the internet.
Well, when I tried to get the ascii codes, I was
not able to get the
correct codes.
For example, when i press Shift + 2, I get an at
"@" sign , instead of a
quote sign, as if I had an english keyboard.
I mean, that is very cool when writing games when
I need to get full
control of the shift, control, etc, but when I was
trying to
get regular keyboard input for a simple
calculator, i was not able to
enter the equal sign by pressing
Shift + 0, as I would do in any application using
my normal spanish
keyboard, to enter the "=", but I get
the ")" instead.
Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong, or tell
me the rationale
behind this design?
I'm attaching my modified calculator in case
someone wants to review it.1
Thanks in advance,
