SlimDX has a Keys enumeration that enumerates possible DirectInput Keyboard values. I need to be able to convert those into Char values, based on the localization the user has set.

Thanks.

*Bump*

Is there something obvious I'm missing? Is it just a matter of localization in general?

If the user sets a different language, I'd like to at least have their own key-presses be the appropriate character set.

MapVirtualKey or MapVirtualKeyEx might be what you're looking for.

Hmm...SlimDX doesn't seem to have those. In addition, the Microsoft documentation doesn't mention localization.

Thanks for the help, anyway . Posted Image
