I would like to let the user enter characters in the FMC through the keyboard. I know how to scan the keyboard using DirectInput, but I don't know how to know to what key a keystroke corresponds.For example, on a US keyboard, if I read the keystroke DIK_Q, I know the Q key has been depressed. But if the user has a French keyboard, the DIK_Q keystroke corresponds to the A key (French keyboard layout is AZERTY instead of QWERTY in the US).If you know how to make the matching, please let me know...Thanks.Eric

Out of interest, what is DirectInput?

DirectInput is the part of DirectX that manages the input devices: keyboard, mouse, joystick and other control devices...EricPS. No question is out of interest ;-)

Can you point me to a link describing its use?

Download the DX9 SDK from Microsoft, it contains a very good electronic documentation (CHM format).Eric

Thanks
