GameInputKeyState (v1)

Describes the state of an active key on a game controller.

Syntax

struct GameInputKeyState
{
    uint32_t scanCode;
    uint32_t codePoint;
    uint8_t  virtualKey;
    bool     isDeadKey;
};

Members

scanCode Type: uint32_t

The scan code of the key.

codePoint Type: uint32_t

The Unicode code point of the physical glyph on the key.

virtualKey Type: uint8_t

The virtual-key code.

isDeadKey Type: bool

Indicates whether the key is dead. (A dead key modifies the character generated by the next keystroke.)

Remarks

This structure is used by the IGameInputReading::GetKeyState method. GetKeyState is intended solely for mapping keyboard input to game actions, not for regular text input.
