emulate funny character input

[paulkatto]

Hi,

I am trying to insert some thai text from a "virtual keyboard" into the cef browser. E.g. I want to emulate keyboard events like "หด้ดเหดเ". What I've done so far was something like this:

std::wstring s = L"หด้ดเหดเ";
n = s.length();
for( i=0; i<n; i++){
CefKeyEvent ki;
ki.character = s[i];
ki.is_system_key = false;
//ki.native_key_code = s[i];
ki.windows_key_code = s[i];
ki.type = KEYEVENT_CHAR;
blabla->GetBrowser()->GetHost()->SendKeyEvent(ki);
}

Unfortunately in the browser I get quite some garbage like this:￠ﾸﾫ￠ﾸﾔ￠ﾹﾉ￠ﾸﾔ￠ﾹﾀ￠ﾸﾫ￠ﾸﾔ￠ﾹﾀ￠ﾸﾫ￠ﾸﾁ￠ﾸﾔ￠ﾸﾔ￠ﾸﾔ￠ﾸﾫ￠ﾸﾳ￠ﾹﾆ

So I wonder how I can send some thai/chinese/japanese/hebrew/whatever unicode character to the browser !?!

#define CHROME_VERSION_MAJOR 33
#define CHROME_VERSION_MINOR 0
#define CHROME_VERSION_BUILD 1750

Thank you.

You need to determine the correct virtual key codes. Here's an example: https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... est.cc#560

thanks a lot for the link to the code, very clear. I've solved it now. Part of the problem was my encoding, it was no proper unicode (my incoming string).
