Question

I want to know how to display some special characters from character map (using with Alt) when user type some key.

For example: display ¥(Alt+0165) when type \, display §(Alt+0167) when type [.

I know that the following code display z if user type a. But I don’t know for characters with Alt key.

private void richTextBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.KeyChar == 'a')
     e.KeyChar = 'z';
}

Thanks in advance.

I think straight forward way must work correct:

private void richTextBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.KeyChar == '[')
       e.KeyChar = '§';
   else if (e.KeyChar == '\\')
       e.KeyChar = '¥';
}

Just type those chars with Alt in Visual studio!
