GetAsyncKeyState Input

[znoen]

Hi,

I have a problem. I made a system that imports config settings from a file into to strings. The config contains keys like: "VK_CONTROL".

Normaly you use this code

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_CONTROL) &1)

Now my code needs to be

String Key1="VK_CONTROL"
if(GetAsyncKeyState(Key1) &1)

But this returns an error.
Someone knows how to make this work?

Tnx!

The Virtual Key Codes is an "Interger" and not a "String"



Notice the "(int vKey)"?
That is a great way or using VS as your advantage.

Thank you! Never noticed that it was an int. Thank you for replying!
