So I had an odd problem recently: 5 keys on the keyboard mysterious emitted their qwerty characters (my keyboard is in dvorak). I noticed that Fl_Input got the correct characters, and noticed that it used Fl::event_text()[0] instead of Fl::event_key(). Sure enough, for reasons I haven't tracked down yet, event_key() returns the wrong character for those 5 keycaps, while event_text() is correct.
The documentation for event_text() is "Returns the text associated with the current FL_PASTE or FL_DND_RELEASE event.", which implies that it's only valid after one of those events, but Fl_Input seems to know better. What really is the difference between the two functions, and is event_text()[0] after a FL_KEYBOARD always safe? I hope so, because that's what Fl_Input does! Once again, this is OS X, 10.4.10, on fltk 1.1.18. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
