Backspace key in SendKeyEvent method?

[noisebar]

I couldn't find too much documentation around the parameters of CefBrowser::SendKeyEvent() method. I had no problem sending normal characters to the off-screen browser. But how do I send keys such as backspace?

Thanks.

Never mind. I figured it out.

you cared enough to make a post that you figured it out but could not also give a solution for future reference.
now im having same problem. does anyone know how to make backspace work?

Nothing works, tried all combinations:

Code: Select all

CefKeyInfo info;
info.key = VK_BACK;
info.imeChar = true/false;
info.sysChar = true/false;

noone has any idea?

from sniffing windows messages i found out:
WM_KEYDOWN 8
WM_CHAR 8
WM_KEYUP 8

8 being VK_BACK or '\b' if you prefer. So i tried sending KT_CHAR in-between KT_KEYDOWN and KT_KEYUP but that makes no difference. mind i do not use windows message loop to detect input therefore i do not have access to actual windows messages (otherwise i would have ripped-off osr example already). All i get is msg that KC_BACK (custom input lib) was pressed. So... Anyone else having custom input handled somehow?

Using CEF3, SendKeyEvent with KeyEventType = Char and WindowsKeyCode = 8 - works for me as backspace.

cef1 here (and cant switch due to missing features i depend on)


Could maybe someone who has cef built test backspace in cef1 off-screen rendering mode?

It works fine in CEF Python Panda3D off-screen rendering example [1]. I've
debugged that example and the key that is sent when I press backspace is 8,
here is the code:

Code: Select all

CefBrowser.SendKeyEvent(KT_CHAR, CefKeyInfo(8, 0, 0), 0);
