Keyboard input problem

SDL Development

Hi,
I’m getting a strange keyboard problem. when I get a keyboard even I
try to print out the unicode for it and always get 0. The code snipet
for the case statement is below.

case SDL_KEYDOWN:
scan = event.key.keysym.scancode;
cout << "Pressed(unicode): " << event.key.keysym.unicode << endl;
cout << “Pressed(unicode): [” << char(event.key.keysym.unicode) << “]”
<< endl;
enqueue_key(scan);
break;

No matter what key(s) I press I always get
Pressed(unicode): 0
Pressed(unicode): []

Any ideas why? Is there a way to get the ASCII code for the key you
pressed?–

The threadwin test program that comes with the latest (as of
last night) CVS snapshot has the same problem. Hitting any key
except ESC gives the following output.

Key ‘’ has been pressed
