Question

I want to convert a string into a series of Keycodes, so that I can then send them via PostMessage to a control. I need to simulate actual keyboard input, and I’m wondering if a massive switch statement is the only way to convert a character into the correct keycode, or if there’s a simpler method.

VkKeyScan will return the correct keycode for any character.

(And yes, I wouldn’t do this in general, but when doing automated testing, and making sure that keyboard presses are responded to correctly, it works reliably enough).
