Pause/Break key.

[Laurens]

Hi guys,

 

Silly question; is there a constant for the Pause/Break key on the keyboard? I couldn't find them in the C# wrapper (Key enum) but they also appear to be missing in C++. At first I though it was either LSYS or RSYS but this is not so.

 

Thanks!

These are all the supported keys, and the Pause key is N/A

Was afraid so. Well thanks anyway!

I guess you could get it manually with another event hook system, but that would probably cause more trouble than anything else.

Well, there is the .NET KeyDown/KeyUp event which supposedly does catch the Pause/Break key but I think that only works on forms.

I believe you would need to write a low-level keyboard handler to process key hits manually like in this article:

I hope this helps, because in some other forums that I have memberships, people who failed to process VK_PAUSE key code said they have succeeded with this method.

I don't think this key exists on a Mac.

Oh Mac, you are right. If this is going to be a cross platform compatible product, everything must be on common things between platforms. I completely forgot about platform dependency when I have sent my previous post.
