InputManager.Net

This library provides an easy to use interface for the native GetAsyncKeyState, GetKeyState and GetKeyboardState API and aswell synthesizes keyboard and mouse input.

To provide better compatibility to other implementations using VirtualKeyCodes i decided to not implement the enum myself and instead use the Windows Forms implementation which is a complete enum representing the native VK_ constants.

You can freely convert between Windows Forms Keys and WPF Key enum values.

Documentation

NuGet

Install-Package AsyncKeyState.Net

This library is also available in the Github Package Registry.

Features

• Get the current KeyStates of any virtual key using the AsyncInput class
• Get and update all KeyStates at once using the KeyboardState class
• Automatically thread safe KeyboardState using a thread static cache
• Convert between WPF Key and Windows Forms Keys enum
• Documented and tested class library

Examples

Using the AsyncInput class:

// returns a flags enum representing the state of the control key
AsyncInput.GetKeyState(Keys.Control);

// returns true if the ctrl key is currently pressed
AsyncInput.IsPressed(Keys.Control);

// and much more

Using the KeyboardState class: (Which also includes mouse states ;))

var keyboard = new KeyboardState();

for (int i = KeyboardState.MinKeyValue; i < KeyboardState.MaxKeyValue; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine(keyboard.IsPressed((Keys)i));
}

Console.ReadLine();

You can get a thread static instance of KeyboardState by using:

var keyboard = KeyboardState.GetThreadStatic();

The thread static instance is automatically thread safe by design.
