Hi List
I am trying to figure out a way to hack keyboard input and finally I've
found a similar thing in py_gtk. The method is given below.-
_________________________________
def on_TextView_key_press(self, widget,event):
keycode = event.hardware_keycode
self.undo_manager.cur_keyval = event.keyval
# Skip if Ctrl or Alt are pressed
if ('GDK_CONTROL_MASK' in event.state.value_names) \
or ('GDK_MOD1_MASK' in event.state.value_names):
return False
if (not self.IsLangDefault):
try:
# get char from the mapping
if ('GDK_SHIFT_MASK' in event.state.value_names) or \
('GDK_LOCK_MASK' in event.state.value_names):
new_char = self.LayManager.dict_trans[keycode][1]
else:
new_char = self.LayManager.dict_trans[keycode][0]
self.textbuffer.delete_selection(True,
self.textview.get_editable())
self.textbuffer.insert_interactive_at_cursor(new_char,
self.textview.get_editable())
except :
# return unchanged keyval for unrecognized keystrokes
return False
# insert the new char instead
return True
else:
return False

Exactly the same thing I am trying to do in c# with gtk. So I am
exprerimenting to get values of keys in another widget.
I only want to ask why I am unable to catch keypress events raised by normal
keys (a, b, c, d, y, 1, 2 etc etc). Modifier keys when pressed raise the
event and I get the output as well. You can see the code how I am doing
this.
protected virtual void OnTextview1KeyPressEvent (object o,
Gtk.KeyPressEventArgs args)
{
char key = (char)args.Event.Key;
entry1.Text = key.ToString();
}
There are only two widgets on window. The keypress event is raised in
textview1 and its output is in entry1. I am getting output (basically
strange characters) when I press shift, alt, ctrl or caps lock or num lock
but normal keys are not raising events. Where I am wrong plz point out so I
can correct the code??
OR IT IS A BUG IN GTK#??????
Regards
