I made a text editor. I was too lazy to study richedit control, so I created my own text field. It is necessary to determine the entered characters in accordance with the selected keyboard layout. Which layout is active can be found out easily. But how to get the right character? The only solution so far is to manually specify the characters, as I did. one

And you need to automatically get the characters of arrayless array

  • 'But how to get the right character?' It is not entirely clear what exactly you mean by this question. In general, the first thing that comes to mind when working with characters is to use ASCII codes. - Shadr
  • "It is necessary to determine the entered characters in accordance with the selected keyboard layout." - sort of clearly written. - user185136
