How to convert from Virtual Key codes to System.Windows.Forms.Keys

Question

If I intercept a key press using win32 calls, I now have a key code. Is there a way to convert that to a System.Windows.Forms.Keys value?

Solution 1

The integer values for System.Windows.Forms.Keys enum match that of the Win32 calls.

Keys keyData = (Keys)rawWin32KeyCode;

Solution 2

Use KeyInterop.KeyFromVirtualKey().

If the int and char keycode are interchangeable then this previous solution should work: <a href="stackoverflow.com/questions/544141/…>

The question was about WinForms; KeyInterop is a WPF class not available under WinForms

This is not working if some modifier keys (shift, ctrl., alt) are pressed! lParam.vkCode = 160 // = VK_LSHIFT lParam.scanCode = 42 Keys key = (Keys)lParam.vkCode; key = Space | F17
