Hi there, say, is it just me, or is DeltaEngine.Scenes.Controls.TextBox showing upper case characters only? Actually, I have poked around in the DE source code, trying to change this by evaluating pressed shift keys. Did not really work, though. Has anyone fiddled with this before? My current working state of DE's (1.0) WindowsKeyboard.cs and Keyboard.cs attached - lower case characters are shown now, but I can't get that shift key detection to work, somehow...

Ah, think I got it now. Seems the conversion of windows special keys to DE key codes is not fully implemented yet. E.g. SHIFT keys come in as 16d (0x10) from windows, while DE defines Shift(157d), LeftShift(160d), RightShift(161d). The current conversion in WindowsKeyboard.cs is only making a 1:1 copy, tho (see HandleProcMessage()). The attached files are now changed so that right or left shift key is considered for regular keys (ASCII 0x41..0x5A). For overall consideration, it would need some other mapping, I reckon. So, this is merely a "case study" for those interested...  File Attachment(s): WindowsKeyboard.cs.txt (4kb) downloaded 4 time(s).

Thanks for the fix. I guess people have not used it this far yet. One sample game that used a text box only used a font with big letters, so that is probably the reason no one noticed. Have not used TextBox myself yet ..
Fix will be integrated into the next nightly release.
