Cef3 SendKeyEvent Special Chars (GLFW / OpenGL)

[azarus]

Hey,

I am trying to implement Cef3 in a Glfw / OpenGL application.

I have this code for text handling that works fine but only with text input. Backspace ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl+z etc... special characters are not working.

Code: Select all

glfwSetKeyCallback(pWindow, KeyCallback);
glfwSetCharCallback(pWindow, TextCallback);


Code: Select all

void TextCallback(GLFWwindow *window, unsigned int keycode)
{
   CefKeyEvent key;
   key.type = KEYEVENT_CHAR;
   key.modifiers = 0;
   key.windows_key_code = keycode;
   pBrowser->GetHost()->SendKeyEvent(key);
}


This code is not working i am just trying to figure out how to send key events correctly:

Code: Select all

void KeyCallback(GLFWwindow* window, int key, int scancode, int action, int mods)
{

    CefKeyEvent keyEvent;
    keyEvent.windows_key_code = keyCode; // I should convert the keys to VK_ keys?
     if(action == 1)
      {
   keyEvent.type = KEYEVENT_KEYDOWN;
      }else{
   keyEvent.type = KEYEVENT_KEYUP;
      }
   pBrowser->GetHost()->SendKeyEvent(keyEvent);
}

Do i have to convert each key one by one manually? Or is there any better alternative?

More or less. See either of the below examples, but of course it may be different depending on your toolkit and what CEF version you're using:

Hey thanks for your response.

I followed these examples, i got the backspace and other special keys working by making a big switch.
But the ctrl+c ctrl-v and other key combinations are not working. And idea?

My guess is, there is no such thing and i have to define them my self. Am i right?

Thanks

Handling of keyboard accelerators is generally framework- and platform-dependent.
