Virtual Key codes

[Shanrattimnoso]

Hy,

i made an application that sends keystrokes (with SendInput) to another.

I have the KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE flag enabled.As far as i could understand, this flag uses directx key codes.

I've been searching for a few hours now, but cant find any example on how to send de SPACE key. Does anyone know how to do this?


Ive managed to figure out a few characters by trying a few codes:

("press" is a function, nevermind it )

    				press(125); 	   // FN key (laptop)
    				press(0xC); 	   // ' key
    				press(0xF); 	   // TAB key
    				
    				press(0xB); 	   // 0 key
    				press(0xA); 	   // 9 key
    				press(0x9); 	   // 8 key
    				press(0x8); 	   // 7 key
    				press(0x7); 	   // 6 key
    				press(0x6); 	   // 5 key
    				press(0x5); 	   // 4 key
    				press(0x4); 	   // 3 key

Regards,
Shan

To my, old knowledge, the keyboard used the ACSII code set ... so I suggest you look for the Hex or Dec, or whatever is needed for the space bar.

Hope that was helpful.

indeed, the keyboard uses ASCII codes. I'm trying to use Scancodes.
The site you mentioned (http://www.motionnet.com/cgi-bin/search.exe?a=showlink&no=65) shows ASCII. These do not work on my app. For example the TAB key is, in this site, 0x09. In my app, 0x09 is "8". The TAB is 0x0F. The 3rd link has them ^^

I just remembered to check the wikipedia for info, and it was there...
This was the site where Ii found the codes "tranlated": http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-1.html#ss1.4

Sorry for wasting your time.. kinda dumb not going straight for wikipedia...


Thanks anyway ^^
