Question about VK_NEXT or VK_ABSTRACT
Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 08:06 PM

Hello,

I use the function VK_NEXT and VK_SUBTRACT in my applications.

If my application is used on a laptop, this causes often a problem since a laptop usually doesn't have those keys.

How can these keys be used on a laptop ?

Maybe this is not a real FWH-problem, but does anyone know an answer ?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Regards,

Antonio,

Sorry, I made a mistake. It must be VK_SUBTRACT.

VK_ADD = "+" of the numeric keypad.
VK_SUBTRACT = "-" of the numeric keypad.

I just edited my first message in this topic.

Thanks.

On a laptop you have to press the "Fn" key plus the keypad key before these keys are detectable.
