Thread: GetKeyState()

Hello
Quick question:

Code:

while(1){
    if(GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT)<0){ //if SHIFT pressed
        cout<<"control "<<endl;
        if(GetKeyState('a')<0){ //if SHIFT is still being pressed and then 'a' is pressed too
            cout<<"a"<<endl;
        }
    }
    else{ //if no keys are pressed
        cout<<"No key being pressed"<<endl;
    }
}

GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) works. Some don't work (like the virtual key VK_SPACE) for some reason. To detect ENTER instead of 'a', I use GetKeyState(VK_RETURN), which works.

Is there an easy way to assign a virtual key tag to nonvirtual keys like characters, numbers, and so on?

Compiler: Dev C++
Would it understand GetKeyState('a') as being a character key press of 'a' if I compiled it with Visual C++?

I did check out the table here. I tried the codes for the capital letters, the top numbers, and the numpad, but none worked.
I checked out ASCII tables (writing decimal 97 or hex 0x61 in place of 'a'), but those didn't work either.

Thanks in advance!

Its 0x41 for key A.

Virtual Key Codes There is table. Doesn't matter it's delphi.

I think you should write 0X41 without quotation mark...
Give that a try...
