Function Documentation

addScanCode()

void addScanCode ( INPUT & input, WORD key )

inline

Adds the scan code to the input structure.

This is necessary because some apps and games use the scan code to determine the actual location of the key on the keyboard. The difference becomes vital when using non-QWERTY keyboard layouts.
