Keypad.getKeyCode() and Keypad.keyCode()Hi

I'm trying to do the reverse of translating keycode to char, by using the Keypad class. Problem is both Keypad.getKeyCode() and Keypad.keyCode() always return 0, no matter what i do.

I have tried

Keypad.getKeyCode('a',0)

Keypad.keyCode('a',KeypadListener.STATUS_ALT)

Keypad.getKeyCode('a',0)

Keypad.keyCode('a',KeypadListener.STATUS_ALT)

But i always get 0. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan.

I wasn't able to reproduce this.  What BlackBerry Smartphone model and BlackBerry device software version are you testing on?  You can find this under Options, About on the BlackBerry Smartphone.

I have seen this behavior both on the 7105 4.3.0 simulator, and 9105 5.0.0 simulator.

Sorry - I mean 8120 simulator and not 7105.

I tried the same simulators and still received 65,0,65,0, which is the expected behaviour.

Alt+a doesn't directly map to a key, which is why 0 is returned.  However, I received 65 for the keyCode for the letter a.
