Function name : MapVirtualKey

Group: Keyboard Input - Library: user32

Translates (maps) a virtual-key code into a scan code or character value, or translates a scan code into a virtual-key code.

Code examples:

Capturing keyboard activity of another application with the Raw Input API (VFP9)

Declaration:

UINT WINAPI MapVirtualKey(
  __in  UINT uCode,
  __in  UINT uMapType
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER MapVirtualKey IN user32;
	LONG uCode,;
	LONG uMapType

Parameters:

uCode [in] The virtual key code or scan code for a key. How this value is interpreted depends on the value of the uMapType parameter.

uMapType [in] The translation to be performed. The value of this parameter depends on the value of the uCode parameter.

Return value:

The return value is either a scan code, a virtual-key code, or a character value, depending on the value of uCode and uMapType. If there is no translation, the return value is zero.

Comments:

To specify a handle to the keyboard layout to use for translating the specified code, use the MapVirtualKeyEx function.
