Re: [platform-swt-dev] Extension to keyboard input in SWT

Yes, please go ahead and investigate
this area.  Can you enter a bug report or find an existing one that
describes the "unreliable when multiple keys are pressed" problem?

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Extension to keyboard input in SWT

Hi
 
I have noticed that currently it is not possible to inspect
a keyboard state in SWT. I am writing a game and initially i have tried
to use the KeyListener to interpret user input. However this is unreliable
when multiple keys are pressed. 
 
If i am correct, it would be possible to write JNI interface
for windows, to use window API functions such as GetKeyboardState() and
GetKeyState() to do what i need. I assume this could be similarly done
for the other supported platforms. So a new keyboard user interface component
could be added to SWT. 
 
What do u think?
 
Martin.
