Retrieves the name/text, virtual key code or scan code of a key.
String := GetKeyName(Key) Number := GetKeyVK(Key) Number := GetKeySC(Key)
A VK or SC code, such as "vkA2"
or "sc01D"
, a combination of both, or a key name. For example, both GetKeyName("vk1B")
and GetKeyName("Esc")
return Escape
, while GetKeyVK("Esc")
returns 27
. Note that VK and SC codes must be in hexadecimal. To convert a decimal number to the appropriate format, use Format("vk{:x}", vk_code)
or Format("sc{:x}", sc_code)
.
These functions return a name, virtual key code or scan code of Key.
