keybd_event
The keybd_event function synthesizes a keystroke. The system can use such a synthesized
keystroke to generate a WM_KEYUP or WM_KEYDOWN message. The keyboard driver's interrupt handler calls the keybd_event function.
VOID keybd_event(
BYTE bVk,
| // virtual-key code
| BYTE bScan,
| // hardware scan code
| DWORD dwFlags,
| // flags specifying various function options
| DWORD dwExtraInfo
| // additional data associated with keystroke
| );
|
|
Parameters
bVk
Specifies a virtual-key code. The code must be a value in the range 1 to 254.
bScan
Specifies a hardware scan code for the key.
dwFlags
A set of flag bits that specify various aspects of function operation. An
application can use any combination of the following predefined constant values to
set the flags:
Value
| Meaning
| KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY
| If specified, the scan code was preceded by a prefix byte having the value
0xE0 (224).
| KEYEVENTF_KEYUP
| If specified, the key is being released. If not specified, the key is being
depressed.
|
dwExtraInfo
Specifies an additional 32-bit value associated with the key stroke.
Return Values
This function has no return value.
Remarks
Although keybd_event passes an OEM-dependent hardware scan code to Windows, applications should
not use the scan code. Windows converts scan codes to virtual-key codes
internally and clears the up/down bit in the scan code before passing it to
applications.
An application can simulate a press of the PRINTSCREEN key in order to obtain
a screen snapshot and save it to the Windows clipboard. To do this, call keybd_event with the bVk parameter set to VK_SNAPSHOT, and the bScan parameter set to 0 for a snapshot of the full screen or set bScan to 1 for a snapshot of the active window.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
