WM_KEYDOWN OnKeyDown() Problem.

[qedusa]

I'm having difficulties determining the actual ASCII character code for keys pressed. If I press 'h' key the ASCII code should be 104 (lowercase h) but I'm always getting the code 72 which is uppercase 'H'.

Can anyone explain why this is and how do I manipulate it if I can't be sure what case the letter is? For example, suppose a user types a lowercase 'h' - I need to be able to change the character code so it's replaced by an uppercase 'H'.

You may check the key of "shift" state

WM_KEYDOWN

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(
HWND hwnd, // handle to window
UINT uMsg, // WM_KEYDOWN
WPARAM wParam, // virtual-key code
LPARAM lParam // key data
)

16–23 Specifies the scan code. The value depends on the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

This above is an exerpt from MSDN.
According to the above documentation u need to mask the rest of the bits and shift the value to get the actual
scan code.

Check if u are correctly calculating.
