Hi all.  I am doing keyboard input via the call KbdCharIn, using a
structure KBDKEYINFO to receive the data.  In the QuickHelp
information, under "Changes and Corrections", it says that in order to
allow for a keypress of value 0xE0, an extended key code has only been
received when the fsStatus field is set to EXTENDED_CODE.  The #define
for EXTENDED_CODE, however, is not to be found in my MS 6.0 header
files.  Does anyone know what this value is, or if it lives somewhere
else?

Thanks in advance.

They seem indeed to have forgotten this! By experimenting a
little with CodeView and KbdCharIn I have come to the
conclusion that the correct #define should be
#define EXTENDED_CODE 0x0002
and it should be inserted in bsesub.h just after the definition
of SHIFT_KEY_IN. Can anybody confirm this?

Btw, these #defines are under the KBDTRANS structure, which leads
me to believe that the documentation of the KBDTRANS structure
might be wrong. There is no word about EXTENDED_CODE there...
