What is the CORRECT Way to get ASCII

[pstudio]

One thing to note chaps, there don't appear to be any constants for the unicode letters for UpperCase letters. I've used SDLK_*-32 for my tests, which seems to work.

..or am I not supposed to be using the SDLK constants on the Unicode value?

What do you need constants for?
In the documentation that's included with JEDI-SDL there's an example of reading input by using unicode.

The last time I looked into the examples, was about 4 or 5 years ago when JEDI-SDL was young and innocent. When I did the SFont conversion from C, many moons ago.

The input part of my engine is a fair few years old too, I never even though about looking at the examples for input.. If I was starting to put network code into the engine, I'd look at them.. but otherwise, How would I know to look there?...

I spent a while searching on the net for examples and I was running into dead ends and I needed to get it fixed quickly. Hence my half rabid spleen venting :LOL:

I know it works now, this thread exists on here in case anyone else runs in to a similar problem and I can help out...

You have to admit though, it's not very intuitive..

There should be a function

getAsciiForKeySym( Key: KeySym; Mod KModifier ): word;

that would have made more sense to me.. it would suggest that there was some underlying logic which I could farm out to SDL to get my char value.

That's my thinking anyway
