I've recently been working a lot with the Key board messages, When a
key is pressed a system generates a WM_KEYDOWN/ WM_KEYUP message
containing the virtual key codes, Scan codes, Ascii codes (If a
Character key is pressed), etc.
Now the application message loop calls TranslateMessage(), which
takes this data and generates a WM_CHAR message, which has actual
character produced by the keypress. Now how does it knows whether the
character pressed is in Upper Case or Lower case.

I am using GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL) to check for whether the Caps Lock
is ON/OFF, when i am giving some character input to the application,
It is checking for the ASCII Value and working accordingly, but it is
taking only Upper Case values, and I want Lower case display of the
Input character key pressed ,

how can i modify my code to get the desire O/P?


Ne valuable suggestions welcome.

Raj

If you really just want to send lower case regardless of the case you
get, I suggest using tolower to convert. No need to worry about all
those other details.
