TMHO: No. As a workaround to get the "char input" this isn't reliable on _any_ system or hardware configuration. You only *guess* with that: IF the user uses a 'usual' keyboard layout, then he'll get from that key press a certain character. Currently I'm using a german keyboard on an english system (because my english keyboard was drunk from a cup of cappucino). But I use the english keyboard layout. So my "ö" yields ";". But it's always the keyCode 59. While the characterCode is what you get from charToNum(). Using "Ukelele" (good site for writing systems and character encoding) http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele I can use my "ö" for (nearly all) other keypresses. And the keyCode is always 59. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
