xBrowse - numerical pad on keyboard

[Otto]

the numerical pad returns if you press 1 - > 97 which is the ASC value for the a .

Could someone please help on that.

Otto:

You don't have to use the ASCII code for the keypad keys or the function keys.

You have to use the "Virtual Key" value provided in the VKEY.CH (linked automatically with Fivewin.ch).

In VKEY.CH you will find the value for the numeric key pad.

Hello Rene,
are you on holidays in Argentina or working?
Do you have a code sample how to use “virtual key”?

Why does xBowse return other values than wbrowse.
As far as I understand both inherit from TControl and the method keydown is
the same in xBrowse than in wbrowse.

Regards,
Otto

Otto,

If you do oXBrowse:bKeyDown = { | nKey | MsgInfo( nKey ) } and press 1 on the numeric keypad, then you get 97 which it is from vkey.ch:

#define VK_NUMPAD1 97

THank you, Antonio,
Now I understand. For the small a do I have to check the “Cap look” state?

----------------------------------

But I don’t understand why these to browsers have different values.

Method keydown filters out some keys and passes if there is no hit the value
to:
return Super:KeyDown( nKey, nFlags )
which I think is the attached window?
Maybe someone can explain this. Thanks in advance.

It is not the attached window. Its the Method KeyDown() from its parent Class TControl.
