keydown

I am creating a small game, the game is printed onto a panel on a windows form. Now i want to capture the keydown event to see if its the arrow keys that has been pressed, the problem however is that i can't seem to capture it. Let me explain, on the form i have 4 buttons and various other controls and if the user for instance press one of the buttons (to trigger a game event) then the button has focus and i can't capture the movements with the arrow keys. I tried something like private void KeyDown(KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Left) { game.MovePlayer(DonutWarsLibrary.GameObjects

I need to figure out which character was typed into a text field from within the handler that is called by jQuery's keydown function. key.which gives me only the keycode, but I need to figure out which ASCII character key represents. How do I do this? For character input, it is suggested you use keypress() , which will report the actual ASCII code for the character pressed. It automatically takes care of letter case, and ignores non-character presses. In either case, you can use fromCharCode() to convert to a string representation. E.g. var c = String.fromCharCode(e.which) // or e.keyCode Just

When I hold a key in my game to move my player: public void MainForm_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Up) { Player.MoveUp(); } } The player instantly moves one step as soon as I press the down arrow, and then pauses for a short duration before starting to smoothly move again. Why's this? How can I prevent it? Peter Duniho The answer in the proposed duplicate is incorrect, unfortunately. It doesn't ignore repeated KeyDown events, and so will gradually increase the "delta" value in the direction being handled by each key case. It also doesn't respond to the keypress

I have coded some stuff: http://fincha.com/kunden/schmitt/ I zoom in with .css("zoom") but I need the buttons to simulate CTRL + or CTRL - This code isn't working for me: e = jQuery.Event("keydown"); e.which = 50; $("input").trigger(e); Please help! EDIT I actually wanted to zoom-in and zoom-out the whole web page, not just a input field. Matt Ball jQuery normalizes modifier keys on events by setting one or more properties on the event object. So, you want to set event.ctrlKey to true , so this should work for you: e = jQuery.Event("keydown"); e.which = 50; e.ctrlKey = true; $("input").trigger

I am using a keydown event to detect keys pressed and have several key combinations for various operations. if (e.KeyCode == Keys.C && e.Modifiers == Keys.Control && e.Modifiers == Keys.Shift) { //Do work } else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.V && e.Modifiers == Keys.Control) { //Paste } For some reason the key combination in which I hit Ctrl + Shift + C is not working. I have re ordered them, and placed it at the top thinking it might be interference from the Ctrl + C , and even removed the Ctrl + C to see if it was causing a problem. It still does not work. I know it's probably something very simple,

I want to assign a keydown event handler to an iframe. Something similar to the pure JS: document.getElementById('iframe_id').contentWindow.addEventListener('keydown',funcName, true); I tried: $(document.getElementById('iframe_id').contentWindow).keydown( function() { // my func }); But it does not work.. Please help! contentWindow is the iframe 's window object. You want the iframe 's document instead: $(document.getElementById('iframe_id').contentWindow.document).keydown(function() { // my func }); Note that I am not sure how jQuery reacts to elements from other windows/frames.
