MapVirtualKey Function

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

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

Syntax

UINT MapVirtualKey(      
    UINT uCode,
    UINT uMapType
);

Parameters

uCode
[in] Specifies 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] Specifies the translation to perform. The value of this parameter depends on the value of the uCode parameter.
MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC
uCode is a virtual-key code and is translated into a scan code. If it is a virtual-key code that does not distinguish between left- and right-hand keys, the left-hand scan code is returned. If there is no translation, the function returns 0.
MAPVK_VSC_TO_VK
uCode is a scan code and is translated into a virtual-key code that does not distinguish between left- and right-hand keys. If there is no translation, the function returns 0.
MAPVK_VK_TO_CHAR
uCode is a virtual-key code and is translated into an unshifted character value in the low-order word of the return value. Dead keys (diacritics) are indicated by setting the top bit of the return value. If there is no translation, the function returns 0.
MAPVK_VSC_TO_VK_EX
Windows NT/2000/XP: uCode is a scan code and is translated into a virtual-key code that distinguishes between left- and right-hand keys. If there is no translation, the function returns 0.
MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC_EX

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.

Remarks

An application can use MapVirtualKey to translate scan codes to the virtual-key code constants VK_SHIFT, VK_CONTROL, and VK_MENU, and vice versa. These translations do not distinguish between the left and right instances of the SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT keys.

Windows NT/2000/XP: An application can get the scan code corresponding to the left or right instance of one of these keys by calling MapVirtualKey with uCode set to one of the following virtual-key code constants.

VK_LSHIFT
VK_RSHIFT
VK_LCONTROL
VK_RCONTROL
VK_LMENU
VK_RMENU

These left- and right-distinguishing constants are available to an application only through the GetKeyboardState, SetKeyboardState, GetAsyncKeyState, GetKeyState, and MapVirtualKey functions.

Windows 95/98/Me: MapVirtualKeyW is supported by the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU). To use this, you must add certain files to your application, as outlined in Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/Me Systems.
