How to determine when a slash key (forward) is pressed in C # OEM keys

Question

I am working on a c # wpf application and I need to determine when the user presses " / ", but I am having trouble finding " / " e.Key. I saw that there are Key.OemBackslashsuch things, but I can not find the correct event for "/" (slash) ...

Thanks guys Greetings

Answer 1

It should be Key.OemQuestionon the US keyboard. But on a Swedish keyboard it is D7, so it depends. The keys on the keyboard do not always create the same character.

, , PreviewTextInput:

protected override void OnPreviewTextInput(TextCompositionEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPreviewTextInput(e);
    if (e.Text == "/")
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("...");
    }
}

protected override void OnPreviewKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
{
        bool toUnicodeIsTrue=false;
        char t = GetCharFromKey(e.Key, ref toUnicodeIsTrue);
        if ( t == '/')
        {
            // do stuff
        }
        base.OnPreviewKeyDown(e);

    public static char GetCharFromKey(System.Windows.Input.Key key, ref bool toUnicodeIsTrue)
    {
        toUnicodeIsTrue = true;
        char ch = ' ';

        // First, you need to get the VirtualKey code. Thankfully, there’s a simple class 
        // called KeyInterop, which exposes a static method VirtualKeyFromKey 
        // that gets us this information
        int virtualKey = System.Windows.Input.KeyInterop.VirtualKeyFromKey(key);
        //Then, we need to get the character. This is much trickier. 
        //First we have to get the keyboard state and then we have to map that VirtualKey 
        //we got in the first step to a ScanCode, and finally, convert all of that to Unicode, 
        //because .Net doesn’t really speak ASCII
        byte[] keyboardState = new byte[256];
        GetKeyboardState(keyboardState);

        uint scanCode = MapVirtualKey((uint)virtualKey, MapType.MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC);
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(2);

        int result = ToUnicode((uint)virtualKey, scanCode, keyboardState, stringBuilder, stringBuilder.Capacity, 0);
        switch (result)
        {
            case -1:
                toUnicodeIsTrue = false;
                break;
            case 0:
                toUnicodeIsTrue = false;
                break;
            case 1:
                {
                    ch = stringBuilder[0];
                    break;
                }
            default:
                {
                    ch = stringBuilder[0];
                    break;

        }
        return ch;
