convert keyboard scancodes to characters

[travism]

I searched around quiet awhile for this but I still haven't found an answer so Im sorry if this was answered before so Ill get to it So say we have 23 which is in ecx i want to be able to print it out to the screen as the character or scancode it is.. I thought it would be something with print uhex$() or something along those lines? but it doesnt seem to be printing.. THanks!

Well I guess I could always use wsprintf... is there anything more efficient I could do?

Multiple things. This must be built as a console app.

Regarding the keyboard scancode to character conversion, a scancode identifies a keyboard key, and while most keys do have a corresponding character, many do not (for example: function keys, cursor control keys, shift keys, etc).

Thanks alot! I went with crt_putchar works great!
