Is there a way to convert the scancodes given by the dbSanCode() function to ascii in order to do something interesting with them?

Is there a way to have access to windows messages in the Dark SDK (for exemple, to get the WMChar information)?

If not, what are we supposed to do with the keyboard in DarkSDK ?

Various people have DLL's that convert a scancode to ASCII - RobK may have one, for example.

But will these DLLs work with the SDK?

In any case, I found in the darkSDKCore.h a char* dbInKey() which returns an ascii char with the currently pressed key!

That should be documented!

inkey$ is in all BASIC languages afaik, certainly the older ones that I used. dbInkey is the ascii version of the dbScanCode.

Not exactly - inkey$ and scancode will return totally different codes for the same key. Inkey$ is for the ASCII value, scancode is for the scancode value.
