You can get the key name from the virtual code, but not the
other way round.

You can of course create a method that uses an array and
some mapping logic, but the easiest is to use brute force.

Say you have method VirtualKeyToKeyName that returns the
key name. You can then create a method, KeyNameToVirtualKey,
which calls VirtualKeyToKeyName until it returns a matching
key name:

string VirtualKeyToKeyName(int virtualKey) {
  // return key name
}

int KeyNameToVirtualKey(string keyName) {
  for (int i=0x08; i<0xFF; i++) {
    if (AnsiCompareText(keyName, VirtualKeyToKeyName(i)) == 0) {
      return i;
    }
  }
  return -1;
}

This approach is a little CPU-intensive. On the positive side
it's simple, and it's independent of the user's language settings.
