Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

#define INCL_DOSDEVIOCTL
 
USHORT DosDevIOCtl(0L, pbTransTable, 0x0050, 0x0004, hDevice)
PBYTE pbTransTable;    /* pointer to translation table */
HFILE hDevice;         /* device handle                */
 
The KBD_SETTRANSTABLE function passes a new translation table to the
keyboard translation function. The new table, which overlays the current
table, translates subsequent keystrokes.
 
Parameter     Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pbTransTable  Points to the translation table.
 
hDevice       Identifies the keyboard that receives the device-control
              function. The handle must have been created previously by
              using the DosOpen function.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is zero if the function is successful or an error value if
an error occurs.
 
Comments
 
The default translation table is United States English.
