Question

handleKeyEvent(uint8_t) doesn't work with backspace or enter

Hi,

Why isn't handleKeyEvent() called in touchghx simulator when I press the backspace or the enter keys of my keyboard?

Also, it's a bit sad that it only works with ascii char, so I just can't send a 'é' or a 'è' char for instance… Could it be improved in the next version of touchgfx plz?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @GMeur ,

 

What have you done to make the handleKeyEvent() work?
Did you create interactions?

Can you share your project?

here is an exemple of key press implementation on a TouchGFX projetc.

Hello @GMeur,

Thanks for your suggestion, currently we are not planning to support them but this will be discussed with the team.

You don't need to do much, just override the handleKeyEvent() in one of your views and that's it…

But as I said, it works with all key inputs besides backspace and enter which I'd like to have.
