Retreive the Scancode

[krikor]

Hi,

I just downloaded the Autoit. I have no idea about scripting eventhough I'm a programer. I find it great.

I would like to create my first Script but need to detect the scancode of the pressed key. Is there a way to get the scancode insteade of the keycode?

Thanks

Greg

Excuse me for asking, but I don't unserstand the question. Please explain the difference between scancode and keycode.

AFAIK the keycode is a code related to the 'meaning' of the key while the 'scancode' is related about the hardware position of the key.

E.G.

The key ~ in english keyboard returns (of course) a tilde, but in an italian keyboard will return a backslash! Because keyboards are differents. So the keycode will be different, but the scancode does not.

I couldn't make this run, gets an error here:

$aR = DllCall("user32", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $hexKey)

but GetAsyncKeyState Api will return the Virtual Keycode. Which API should I call and how, in order to obtain the Scancode. from the Keyboard Layout?

May help.

$ikeyvalue = 27;This is just an example for Esc

$a=DllCall('user32.dll','int','MapVirtualKey','int',$ikeyvalue,'int',0)
MsgBox(0,'Scancode','The scancode is ' & @lf & $a[0])


$iscancode = 1;This is just an example for Esc
$a=DllCall('user32.dll','int','MapVirtualKey','int',$iscancode,'int',1)
MsgBox(0,'Scancode','The keyvalue is ' & @lf & $a[0])

VirtualKeyCodes in hex!

get the "unstable" a.k.a. beta and use this API... "MapVirtualKey"

Thanks Layer, I'll try these out. Just one thing. Do I install this over the old version or do I have to Uninstall it first?

Thanks again

You can do either. If you install it over the old version you'll keep your settings though.

i would install over the old ones, so that no confusion comes along.
