Question

I’m trying to make a simple text editor with winapi, its working for simple letter, but its not with capital letter or shift key.

char    keys[256];
int     x = 0;
while (1)
{
  for (x = 0; x <= 256; x++)
     {
        if (GetAsyncKeyState(x) == -32767)
           {
              char c[5];
              GetKeyboardState(keys);
              ToAscii(x, MapVirtualKey(x, 0), keys, c, 0);
              putchar(c[0]);
            }
      }
 }

Answer 1

Try to call

GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL); 

before

GetKeyboardState(keys);
