Keypress Trigger - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by tobias weltner

I noticed that you can use hex values for AutoReplaceTriggers but they don't seem to work with Keypress Triggers.
What I want to do is have a trigger fire when backspace (char code 8) is pressed. In VS 2005, backspace opens memberlists.
Am I doing something wrong, or do keypress triggers exclude certain special keys?

Keypress triggers are meant to only be used for characters that key typed into the editor like a '.' or '(', etc. However with our very customizable key processing model, you can attach to the KeyTyped event and fire off the member list from there for the backspace key.

Thanks, I did that already and it works beautifully.
However, keypress triggers have the advantage of language scoping.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 4 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
