Win API - Virtual Keys
Author
I looked up the virtual keys and found that the keyboard number 1 is represented by a hexadecimal value of '30' in windows api. Using windows procedure how do I type this in?
if ( GetAsyncKeyState(30) ){ foo();}will do foo(); if 1 is pressed when the function is called
Your question doesn't make much sense. I'm guessing you don't know how to use hex numbers in C/C++? Something like this:
For the specific context of virtual keys it's probably clearer to this instead:
For number and letter keys you can just use a character constant like that (use uppercase for letters, i.e. 'A'). For other keys you can use one of the standard VK_ constants. Some people also like to create VK_ constants for numbers and letters for consistency since the standard Windows headers don't do that themselves for some reason.
if (vk == 0x31) whatever(); // 1 is hex 31, not 30For the specific context of virtual keys it's probably clearer to this instead:
