578.0. "XKeycodeToKeysym help needed!" by CSC32::K_TICE (Ada...Keeping the world safe for beaurocracy!) Tue Apr 11 1989 16:31
HELP!
Does anybody out there have any experience with XKeycodeToKeysym.
Any input is welcome, but the problem I observe is in Ada.
It appears that this routine does not always translate the key code
to a valid key symbol. ...more than that, it seems to trash the
code in the routine that follows the call to XkeycodeToKesym.
The calling mechanisms do not seem to be the problem. I am somewhat
suspicous of the Ada interface (DECW$X_.ADA), but changing this
to what I think should be correct according to the documentation
has _NO_ affect.
I have code, but it it HUGE, and written in Ada. I will try to
narrow the problem down and post it. So far, attempts to do this
have been futile. The code is very "fragile", and reducing it too
much mysteriously makes the problem disappear!
I have found NO examples of using this routine (in any language).
I have found NO indications of problems with this routine.
Any and all pointers/help/input/feedback of any kind will be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Ken

| I'm not aware of any problems with XKeycodeToKeysym either for
the MIT or VAX bindings. If you can narrow this down please QAR it.

| If it is any consolation I have had success with its counter-part
XKeysymToKeycode from Ada. I have not tried it the other way around
however.
I have found a couple of other problems with the DECW$X_.ADA package
and am in the process of submitting QAR's.

| I have a C example of XStringToKeysym and XKeysymToKeycode but not the reverse.
Are you interested?
