ImmGetVirtualKey

The ImmGetVirtualKey function recovers the original virtual-key value associated with a key input message that has already been processed by the IME.

UINT ImmGetVirtualKey(
  HWND hWnd  
);

Parameters

hWnd

[in] Handle to the window that receives the key message.

Return Values

The function returns the original virtual-key value.

Remarks

Although the IME sets the virtual-key value to VK_PROCESSKEY after processing a key input message, an application can recover the original virtual-key value with the ImmGetVirtualKey function. This function can be used only for key input messages containing the VK_PROCESSKEY value.
