From QKeySequence to vk_code ?

[reonZ]

Is there a way to translate Qt's QKeySequence or even Qt:Key into vk_code or anything usable with windows' SendInput ?

Hi,

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve with vk_code ?

Hi
I have not seen such function.
Seems only to map the other way, VK to Qt:key

@SGaist I am trying to "type" some text in another application using windows SendInput function.

In that case, you have to write down a reverse map matching what Qt did.

@SGaist I see, that is not really fun

Well i went a completely different way, i parse the QKeySequence::toString() using VkKeyScanExW and then use SendInput, it seems to be working quite well.
