UniUpdateShiftState

Update the effective and actual shift state and LED status.

Syntax

UniUpdateShiftState(keyboardHndl, shiftState, vScan, makeBreak); 

Parameters

keyboardHndl - KHAND - input 

The key board handle received from UniCreateKeyboard.

shiftState - USHIFTSTATE - input 

The shift state consists of 3 32-bit values. These bit definitions define the actual, effective, and LED shift states.

vScan - VSCAN - input 

Presentation Manager scan code.

makeBreak - BYTE - input 

Key make, break, repeat indicator.

Constants

None

Returns

An integer with values of:

• ULS_BADHANDLE
• ULS_SUCCESS

Calling Convention

Cdecl32

Example Code

KHAND       keyboardHndl;
USHIFTSTATE shiftState;
VSCAN       vScan;
BYTE        makeBreak;
integer     rc;
...
rc = UniUpdateShiftState(keyboardHndl, shiftState, vScan, makeBreak);
...

Notes

UniUpdateShiftState modifies the shift state as dictated by the scan code, using the specified keyboard translation tables. The shift state consists of these three parts:

• The actual shift state
• The effective shift state
• The LED status

The effective shift is equal to the 16 lower bits of the actual shift, but when a lock state modifies an actual shift (such as caps lock affecting shift), the effective shift is modified. This means that the effective shift is only correct for the specified scan code.
