DeftSharp.Windows.Input

A lightweight library designed to handle and manage keyboard and mouse button events in Windows UI applications (WPF, MAUI, Avalonia). Using P/Invoke methods, this library provides an easy-to-use interface for event handling.

How to Install

The library is published as a Nuget

dotnet add package DeftSharp.Windows.Input

Examples

Subscription to left mouse click:

var mouseListener = new MouseListener();
            
mouseListener.Subscribe(MouseEvent.LeftButtonDown, () =>
{
    // This code will be triggered after each left mouse button click
});

One-time subscription for pressing a button on the keyboard:

var keyboardListener = new KeyboardListener();

keyboardListener.SubscribeOnce(Key.A, key =>
{
    // This code will only work once, after pressing button 'A'
});

You can customize each subscription to suit your needs:

Key[] keys = { Key.W, Key.A, Key.S, Key.D };
            
keyboardListener.Subscribe(keys, key =>
{
    // WASD clicks
}, 
 TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), // Interval of click event
 KeyboardEvent.KeyUp); // Keyboard event type

Furthermore, you can take advantage of specialized classes for different usage scenarios. For example, for the NumPad:

var numpadListener = new NumpadListener(keyboardListener);
            
// 0-9 numpad buttons
numpadListener.Subscribe(number =>
{
    // Your code here
});
