I'm working on a TextBox class that simply adds a character to its Text property for every key that's pressed, and I've got a few questions about some of the (unsummarized) Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input.Keys enumeration members:

Attn
ChatPadGreen
ChatPadOrange
Crsel
Decimal
Execute
Exsel
ImeConvert
ImeNoConvert
Kana
Kanji
LaunchApplication1
LaunchApplication2
OemAuto
OemPipe
ProcessKey
Separator
Sleep
Zoom

I need to know what these keys do, and (more importantly) what, if any, characters they should be represented by in a TextBox.

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

Most of these are control keys included on some of the more recent multimedia style keyboards.

The Chat* keys are used by the Xbox chat pad accessory.

The Ime*, Kana, and Kanji keys are used by Japanese keyboards.

btw. what's with the weird big blue font? It makes your posts kinda hard to read :-)

I like blue, and it's not that hard to read... :P
All right, maybe I'll tone it down a bit.

Seriously, though, thanks for your quick response- that's exactly what I needed. My target audience is exclusively American English keyboard users, so I can safely ignore those other members.

It extremely hard to read. Please just use the standard font and color for your posts. I just posted in another thread because I hadn't seen this one, but basically I'm just going to start deleting your posts if you can't manage to do that. We try to keep these forums pretty clean and professional. We're not really a multi-colored font and text forum so let's try and keep it that way. Thanks!

Decimal
OemPipe

I believe Decimal corresponds to "." on the numpad of most English keyboards, and OemPipe corresponds to the pipe character "|".
