SetKeyboardState
The SetKeyboardState
function copies a 256-byte array of keyboard key states into the calling
thread s keyboard-input state table. This is the same table accessed by the GetKeyboardState and GetKeyState functions. Changes made to
this table do not affect keyboard input to any other thread.
BOOL SetKeyboardState(
|
LPBYTE lpKeyState |
// address of array
with virtual-key codes |
|
); |
|
Parameters
lpKeyState
Points to a
256-byte array that contains keyboard key states.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
Remarks
Because the SetKeyboardState
function alters the input state of the calling thread and not the global input
state of the system, an application cannot use SetKeyboardState to set
the NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK indicator lights on the keyboard.
