postEventFromUser double-letters

[LunaRebirth]

Hello,
I'm working on an Android project and there are some letters (such as :, ;, /, |, *, etc.) that aren't supported by default with the touchscreen.

In order to make them work, I use the following code:

Code: Select all

void MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent( irr::EKEY_CODE key_, bool pressedDown_, wchar_t character_)
{
    if ( Game::device && Game::device->getGUIEnvironment() )
    {
        SEvent irrEvent;
        irrEvent.EventType = irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT;
        irrEvent.KeyInput.PressedDown = pressedDown_;
        irrEvent.KeyInput.Control = false;
        irrEvent.KeyInput.Shift = false;
        irrEvent.KeyInput.Char = character_;
        irrEvent.KeyInput.Key = key_;
 
        //Game::receiver.OnEvent(irrEvent);
        Game::device->getGUIEnvironment()->postEventFromUser(irrEvent);
    }
}
 
bool MyEventReceiver::OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
{
    // ...
    if (event.EventType == irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT)
    {
    #ifdef _IRR_ANDROID_PLATFORM_
        int SystemKeyCode = event.KeyInput.SystemKeyCode;
        if (SystemKeyCode == 17)
            MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)17,true,'*');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 75)
            if (event.KeyInput.Shift)
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)75,true,'\"');
            else
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)75,true,'\'');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 74)
            if (event.KeyInput.Shift)
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)74,true,':');
            else
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)74,true,';');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 76)
            if (event.KeyInput.Shift)
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)76,true,'?');
            else
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)76,true,'/');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 73)
            if (event.KeyInput.Shift)
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)73,true,'|');
            else
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)73,true,'\\');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 70)
            MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)70,true,'=');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 71)
            if (event.KeyInput.Shift)
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)71,true,'{');
            else
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)71,true,'[');
        else if (SystemKeyCode == 72)
            if (event.KeyInput.Shift)
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)72,true,'}');
            else
                MyEventReceiver::SendKeyEvent((irr::EKEY_CODE)72,true,']');
 
    #endif // _IRR_ANDROID_PLATFORM_
    // ...
}

If I don't use the SendKeyEvent function, the associated character won't appear. But by using it, 2 characters appear instead of one.
I.E entering [ will put [[ in an editbox in Android.

I checked in the event receiver, and one letter is being caught. One for PressedDown and one for !PressedDown.

You always set your pressedDown parameter in SendKeyEvent to true. Try setting it to event.KeyInput.PressedDown instead (seeing that you already created that parameter, I suspect that is what you had planned for it anyway...).

Your help is always wonderful. Thank you
