Function keys F10 & F12

[Ats]

I'm using the function keys F1 to F12 in order to debug Omeganaut, but I've stumble on two problems with that:

• F10 key (code 121) seems to do nothing
• F12 key (code 123) is equal to a left mouse click

Is that something related to CharCode or ZGE is using those numbers for internal things?
There no info about that on the wiki: http://zgameeditor.org/index.php/ComponentRef/KeyPress

Thanks

Hi Ats,

F10 key (code 121) seems to do nothing

F10 is a bit of a special case in Windows. It's possible to get it to work, but you need a bit of a workaround .. here's a snippet from MSDN ( for Ville ).

If the F10 key is pressed, the DefWindowProc function sets an internal flag. When DefWindowProc receives the WM_KEYUP message, the function checks whether the internal flag is set and, if so, sends a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to the top-level window. The WM_SYSCOMMAND parameter of the message is set to SC_KEYMENU.

F12 key (code 123) is equal to a left mouse click

The 3 mouse buttons override F12, F13 and F14 because "{", "|" and "}" are mapped to the same key-codes by the ASCII standard.

Thanks for the explanations Kjell, that's good to know, and should be written down in the ZGE wiki
I'm going to move my debug keys from the function keys to the number keys then.
