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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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(pkbxl, pidCodePage, 0x0079, 0x0004, hDevice)
PKBDXLATE pkbxl;      /* pointer to structure for scan code   */

The KBD_XLATESCAN function translates a scan code in a character data record
to an ASCII character.
 
Parameter    Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pkbxl        Points to the KBDTRANS structure that contains the scan code to
             translate. It also receives the character value when the
             function returns.
pidCodePage  Points to a code-page identifier that specifies which code page
             to use for the translation. The code-page identifier can be one
             of the following values:
 
             Number  Code page

             865     Nordic
 
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
 
You may specify a code page to use for translation. Otherwise, the code page
of the active keyboard is used. On entry, the KBDTRANS structure specifies
the code page to use for translation.
