Is there a way to convert Qt Key codes to Virtual-key codes (of windows)

[rsilva]

I'm making a system of hotkeys and need to make a "input" for it, like the win32 HOTKEY_CLASS.

But, the keys returned in Qt, with a example, using F1
return: 16777232
and the virtual key code of VK_F1 is 112

How can I translate Qt key to VK_* or how to make a control that can handle all hotkeys combinations ?

I'm subclassing line edit, and some of keys works, but, if I use Home, End, F* keys, it doesn't work, and return big numbers too like Qt::Key_F1 (not the same number).
And if I use Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L (or S) don't work... (with A, Z, Q, etc works)

I'm using this code to get the keys names (and it works when using VK_*)

QString GetKeyName(unsigned int virtualKey)
{
    unsigned int scanCode = MapVirtualKey(virtualKey, MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC);
 
    // because MapVirtualKey strips the extended bit for some keys
    switch (virtualKey)
    {
        case VK_LEFT: case VK_UP: case VK_RIGHT: case VK_DOWN: // arrow keys
        case VK_PRIOR: case VK_NEXT: // page up and page down
        case VK_END: case VK_HOME:
        case VK_INSERT: case VK_DELETE:
        case VK_DIVIDE: // numpad slash
        case VK_NUMLOCK:
        {
            scanCode |= 0x100; // set extended bit
            break;
        }
    }
 
    char* keyName = new char[256];
    QString name;
 
    if (GetKeyNameTextA(scanCode << 16, keyName, 256) != 0)
    {
        name = keyName;
    }
 
    delete[] keyName;
 
    return name;
}

QString GetKeyName(unsigned int virtualKey)
{
    unsigned int scanCode = MapVirtualKey(virtualKey, MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC);

    // because MapVirtualKey strips the extended bit for some keys
    switch (virtualKey)
    {
        case VK_LEFT: case VK_UP: case VK_RIGHT: case VK_DOWN: // arrow keys
        case VK_PRIOR: case VK_NEXT: // page up and page down
        case VK_END: case VK_HOME:
        case VK_INSERT: case VK_DELETE:
        case VK_DIVIDE: // numpad slash
        case VK_NUMLOCK:
        {
            scanCode |= 0x100; // set extended bit
            break;
        }
    }

    char* keyName = new char[256];
    QString name;

    if (GetKeyNameTextA(scanCode << 16, keyName, 256) != 0)
    {
        name = keyName;
    }

    delete[] keyName;

    return name;
}

can you help me ?

Trap QKeyEvent and use nativeVirtualKey() ?

See qt\src\gui\kernel\qkeymapper_win.cpp

Thank you, it worked with the nativeVirtualKey... i didn't know about it.
And now my problem trying to use a common control class is solved too, because I can do a similar control with this ^^
