Parameters

virtualKey  Int32
A virtual key. If the desired virtual key is a letter or digit (A through Z, a through z, or 0 through 9), nVirtKey must be set to the ASCII value of that character. For other keys, it must be a virtual-key code. If a non-English keyboard layout is used, virtual keys with values in the range ASCII A through Z and 0 through 9 are used to specify most of the character keys.For example, for the German keyboard layout, the virtual key of value ASCII O(0x4F) refers to the "o" key, whereas VK_OEM_1 refers to the "o with umlaut" key.

Return Value

Int16
