Get lowercase with keydown wpf

Question

I want to get the keys pressed on the keyboard either with or without caplock:

private void Window_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e         


        

Answer 1

You can't use the KeyDown event. You'll need to use the TextInput event. This will print the original letter with it's caption (Uppercase/Lowercase).

    private void Window_TextInput(object sender, TextCompositionEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
    }

Now, this will also print the Shift and so on if it's pressed. If you don't want those modifiers just get the last item of the string -treat it as a char array ;)-
