try to implement combination of keypressing for my programm currently can detect required keypressed (in this post described how) but only predefined in code, but I want to store setting in condig file then read it and use if pressed.
Now can store it, and read as string - currently try to convert readed string to Keys
, using next code:
Storing in config file:
<add key="open" value="ControlKey,N"
<add key="close" value="ControlKey,Q" />
<add key="clear" value="ControlKey,D" />
<add key="settings" value="ControlKey,S" />
<add key="colorKey" value="ControlKey,K" />
<add key="fontKey" value="ShiftKey,T" />
<add key="defaultKey" value="ControlKey,P" />
and using it
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Keys));
string[] keyValueTemp;
keyValueTemp = cm.GetValueString("open").ToString().Split(',');
string key1 = keyValueTemp[0];
string key2 = keyValueTemp[1];
Keys keys1 = (Keys)converter.ConvertFromString(key1);
Keys keys2 = (Keys)converter.ConvertFromString(key2);
if (ModifierKeys == keys1 && e.KeyCode == keys2)
{
string keyPressed = e.KeyCode.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(keyPressed);
}
}
But, has next result -
So - as you see - this convert control Key to Shiftkey, also try to use code if (ModifierKeys.ToString() == keyValueTemp[0] && e.KeyCode.ToString() == keyValueTemp[1])
, but it's not work too.
if use this code
if (e.Modifiers == Keys.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.N)
{
string keyPressed = e.KeyCode.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(keyPressed);
}
all works
Q: how can i convert string to Keys and compare it with keyPressed events?
EDIT
So found my mistake
Keys key = (Keys)converter.ConvertFromString(keyValueTemp[0]);
Keys key2 = (Keys)converter.ConvertFromString(keyValueTemp[1]);
if (e.Modifiers == key && e.KeyCode == key2)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode.ToString());
}
forget to add e
- from event handler
another way - as written by AccessDenied
Keys key = (Keys)Enum.Parse(typeof(Keys), keyValueTemp[0], true);
Keys key;
Enum.TryParse("Enter", out key);
