I'm working with an OpenTK window and I am trying to create a hand-made text-box for a GUI.
The issue I'm running into here is getting proper keyboard input.
For example, when the user types Shift + 1, the character that appears in the text-field is an exclamation mark.
The issue is, using input libraries just give me raw key presses. ie, pressing Shift + 1 gives you an event where shift is being pressed, and an event where 1 is being pressed.
I'm looking to know if there is a way to convert these presses into the appropriate character, so that they can use whatever special characters they have available on their keyboard.
If this feature is not available - would the best approach be to hard-code the appropriate keys when modifiers are used with them?
EDIT: I changed the event I was using from KeyDown to KeyPress - it gives a different event which handles the modifiers correctly. Thank you for all the help!
use keypress EventHandler of Your control then
if(e.keychar==(char)keys.[specified key])do some work
e is Argument of keypress eventhandler function
