The MapVirtualKey function translates (maps) a virtual-key code into a scan code or ASCII value, or it translates a scan code into a virtual-key code.
uKeyCode
Specifies the virtual-key code or scan code for a key. How this parameter is interpreted depends on the value of the fuMapType parameter.
fuMapType
Specifies the translation to perform. If this parameter is 0, the uKeyCode parameter is a virtual-key code and is translated into its corresponding scan code. If fuMapType is 1, uKeyCode is a scan code and is translated to a virtual-key code. If fuMapType is 2, uKeyCode is a virtual-key code and is translated to an unshifted ASCII value. Other values are reserved.
The return value depends on the value of the uKeyCode and fuMapType parameters. For more information, see the description of the fuMapType parameter.
