The best way to get the keystrokes in ASCII form

[INA_ctive]

I'm using Windows API. Usually i use the GetKeyNameText function, but i found that i'm not satisfied with it since it returns all upper case ascii, it return special character such as the enter and space as ascii "Enter" and "Space". Do you have recommendation about more suitable function or maybe a way to solve this (if there isn't any function like that) thank you very much =)

Did you try

int ToAscii(UINT uVirtKey,
UINT uScanCode,
PBYTE lpKeyState,
LPWORD lpChar,
UINT uFlags
);

Have you tried --- "GetAsyncKeyState" ? Cheers, Vishal

The GetAsyncKeyState function determines whether a key is up or down at the time the function is called, and whether the key was pressed after a previous call to GetAsyncKeyState.
