Scancode to Ascii
Hello,

I use GetAsyncKeyState() and want to convert the return code to Ascii. How can I can an Ascii code from a Scankey Code ?

You could map all the virtual key code, all 256 of them. GetAsyncKeyState only tells you if the key was pressed or not, meaning like a TRUE or FALSE. After your GetAsyncKeyState procedure, you could create another procedure that will check if these key states are TRUE or FALSE...

E.G.

procedure... 



cmp     gbUpKey, 0h

je      @@CheckDownKey



;Do something here



jmp     @@UpLocationExit



@@CheckDownKey:



cmp     gbDownKey, 0h

je      @@Check.....................



;Do something here

..............


Or handle the WM_KEYDOWN message. For sure this will always work.
