On different Windows OS’s & on versions of windows that are running different langauges(keyboards, encoding etc.) are the virtual key codes always the same?

So from looking at MSDN I can see that VK_RETURN = 0x0D. Will the Return key always have this value regardless of what version of windows or language or etc.?

    Yes, this is the point of having virtual keys in the first place. There are a whole heckofalot of complications to turn a virtual key into a real key, WM_CHAR. That’s keyboard layout nightmare. You don’t have to fear VK_RETURN, that one is in the usual place.
