B4J Question char to keycode?

[ilan]

hi, is there a snipped to convert char to keycode in b4j?

i tried using java object but could not get it working

thanx

Sub KeycodeFromString(s As String) As Object
 Dim jo As JavaObject
  Return jo.InitializeStatic("javafx.scene.input.KeyCode").RunMethod("getKeyCode", Array(s.ToUpperCase))
End Sub

It will return Null if there is no matching key.

oopps, i was too early with marking your answer as the solution. what i get is just the STRING back and not the KeyCode

The return type should be Object (I've updated my post).

I have a feeling that you are looking for the unicode code point.

Log(Asc("a"))
