Through more experimentation, I’ve only made myself more and more confused.
Other people seem to have no problems AT ALL dealing with SendInput from User32.dll. I’m not sure why it’s so difficult for me!
I started off trying to use VKs directly. That produced unexpected results. So then, I just started iterating through numbers. I would get really strange results that way, too – but at least they were reproducible. Thus, I knew I was dealing with SOME KIND of pattern.
Further internet research revealed an archived article which referenced some PDFs. This is how I learned that, for whatever reason, the scancodes in use on my development computer are the PS/1 make/break codes.
So, I’m pretty baffled as to what I’m supposed to be doing here, since everyone else seems to be getting along very well without having to do crazy lookups.
Tomorrow, I go back to basics: perhaps MSDN will have an article on SendInput, with some examples. Ha.
How… frustrating.
