HI.

"To retrieve character codes, an application must include the
TranslateMessage function in its thread message loop"

How can i do that?

Thanks
 
I'm handling the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_SYSKEYDOWN and i what i want is translate
the message to a WM_CHAR or WM_DEADCHAR.
"...The layout examines the message's virtual-key code and, if it
corresponds to a character key, provides the character code equivalent
(taking into account the state of the SHIFT and CAPS LOCK keys)..."
Thanks.

David,

Do you want to translate it to the WM_CHAR or WM_DEADCHAR message, or do
you want to send it back into the message pump to be sent? TranslateMessage
will take those messages and post the new message to the thread.
