Problem in KeyBoard Listener on method nativeKeyTyped about jnativehook

[kwhat]

Are you using get getKeyCode() on a key down or up events? That functionality behaves the same way as the java key listener, "getKeyChar() for events of type NATIVE_KEY_PRESSED and NATIVE_KEY_RELEASED will always return CHAR_UNDEFINED."

See:

jnativehook/src/java/org/jnativehook/keyboard/NativeKeyEvent.java

Line 41 in 7a4879e

* <code>VC_UNDEFINED</code>. Please note that {@link #getKeyChar()} for events of type

I get UNDEFINED on key typed when I want to get the Key Code.

What Operating system and which key?

I have the same problem, in public void nativeKeyTyped(NativeKeyEvent nativeKeyEvent) the nativeKeyEvent.getKeyCode() always return 0. It is working on nativeKeyPressed and on nativeKeyReleased. I run Win 7. I get this an all keys.

Ahh yes, that is not a bug. For some reason I read getKeyCode and thought getKeyChar. Key down and up events produce "codes" and key typed events produce "chars." Key down/up events will always have a char of CHAR_UNDEFINED and key typed events will always have a code of VK_UNDEFINED. This should match the behavior of Java's KeyEvent.

I thought it was something like that. So work as intended. It would be good to add this in the documentation in NativeKeyEvent that only some information are used in some method and you can't use all the method from this class.
Thanks for explaining, I'm good so you can close for me.

I will update the docs this weekend and close. You are welcome.
