Thread: Key codes...

what are the codes for the different keys on the board? or where could I find a list...

oh and when I say codes I mean this type...

0x38
0x1c

Thanks in advance...

Make a program that prints the ascii value of the key you press.
May be something like this (depends on your compiler):

Code:

while(something)
{
   if(kbhit())
   {
      cout << (int)getch() << endl;
   }
}

Here's a link to an ASCII table: www.asciitable.com . You'll have to search a bit more to find the actual "key scan codes" i.e. If you want to know what the code for the num-lock is.

In a few days you can check the FAQ for a way to do it. Or you could search the boards, I'm sure the topic has come up. But since I'm nice, here is a (not really portable) function that you can use to test the codes with:

Code:

int get_code ( void )
{
  int ch = getch();

  if ( ch == 0 || ch == 224 )
    ch = 256 + getch();

  return ch;
}

Just replace getch with your system's equivalent.
