Retrieves a string that represents the name of a key
#include <WinAPISys.au3>
_WinAPI_GetKeyNameText ( $lParam )
| $lParam | Specifies the second parameter of the keyboard message (such as WM_KEYDOWN) to be processed. |
| Success: | String containing the name of the key. |
| Failure: | Empty string, call _WinAPI_GetLastError() to get extended error information. |
The format of the key-name string depends on the current keyboard layout. The keyboard driver maintains a list
of names in the form of character strings for keys with names longer than a single character. The key name
is translated according to the layout of the currently installed keyboard, thus the function may give different
results for different input locales. The name of a character key is the character itself. The names of dead
keys are spelled out in full.
