lwjgl96 getEventCharacter

OpenGL Development
#1

Removed enableBuffer, since it apparantly included in the core, but getEventCharacter does not return any characters now. I did not change anything but remove the enableBuffer. What did I do wrong?
Appears to return a space/blank for me.

anyone?

OS? Does org.lwjgl.test.input.KeyboardTest work for you?

OS is Win 2k.
Here is the result of the Keyboard test:


Checking key:E
Key character: e
NUM lock on

Checking key:E
Key character:
NUM lock on

Checking key:E
Key character: e
NUM lock on

Checking key:E
Key character:
NUM lock on

It appears that the capture took place ont he press and not the release.

Here is how I was doing it in 0.92


        // poll keyboard to get key press/type, not jsut down state
            Keyboard.poll(); 
            //System.out.println("Event count: " + Keyboard.getNumKeyboardEvents());
            while (Keyboard.next()) { 
                     boolean keyPressed = Keyboard.getEventKeyState();
                     Manager.processKeyType(keyPressed, Keyboard.getEventKey(), Keyboard.getEventCharacter() ); 
                     
                     // for testing
                     if (!keyPressed && Keyboard.getEventKey() == Keyboard.KEY_S) {   // && state == PLAYING 
                      //s key was released 
                      System.out.println("Key: " + Keyboard.getEventCharacter());
                     }
                     
            }

This method returns a space now instead of a letter character. The letter ‘s’ is missing like so:


Key:

EDIT: ok, so this tells me that getEventCharacter only returns a character when keyPressed above is true. Guess this has changed with this release and I missed it in the change log.
