#define INCL_KBD #include <os2.h> PKBDKEYINFO pKey; /* Pointer to character data. */ HKBD hkbd; /* Reserved. Must be 0. */ APIRET rc; /* Return code. */ rc = KbdXlate(pKey, hkbd);
Remarks
KbdXlate is designed for conditions where the scan codes are known, but not the character. This must be used with care, and is not designed to be a substitute for the normal OS/2 keyboard translation functions.
The bNlsShift member of KBDKEYINFO must be maintained from call to call whenever an interim bit is set.
