OemKeyScan
The OemKeyScan function maps OEM ASCII codes 0 through 0x0FF into the OEM scan codes and
shift states. The function provides information that allows a program to send OEM
text to another program by simulating keyboard input.
DWORD OemKeyScan(
WORD wOemChar
| // ASCII value of OEM character
| );
|
|
Parameters
wOemChar
Specifies the ASCII value of the OEM character.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the low-order word of the return value contains the
scan code of the given OEM character, and the high-order word contains the
shift state, which can be a combination of the following flag bits:
Bit
| Meaning

If the character cannot be produced by a single keystroke using the current
keyboard layout, the return value is 0xFFFFFFFF.

simulating input using the ALT+ keypad mechanism. The NUMLOCK key must be off.
This function does not provide translations for characters that cannot be
typed with one keystroke using the current keyboard layout, such as characters with
