wanted: help translating MapVirtualKeyEx to PInvoke

Can someone kindly help me finish my attempt at pinvoke? HKL is a void* and
I don't know how to translate it.
[DllImport("user 32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
//static extern UInt32 MapVirtualKeyEx W(UInt32 uCode, UInt32 uMapType, HKL
dwhkl);

Here is the function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...07(VS.85).aspx

Thanks!

Wow! Great tip! I had to search seperately for the MAPVK constants but I
found them!

They were in VB though! I translated them by hand.

How can I search for constant definitions in C#?
How can I search for functions in VB?

Seems like there should be C#/VB checkbox.

The pinvoke site is user driven, meaning people submit the help. If there
is no C# or VB code for a function, then someone needs to submit it. The
constants are constants in any language, but you do have to convert &H0A to
10, for example.

Is it possible to use mailslots in .NET using PInvoke? I have a VC++ 6.0 based app that creates and listens to a mailslot. I have a second VC++ 6.0 based app that opens the mailslot and writes to it successfully. So this stuff works. Additionally, I have a VB.NET app that opens the mailslot successfully using CreateFile() (with PInvoke). What looks like a proper handle is returned and there is no error.

After numerous problems, I'm having second thoughts about using C++/CLI to wrap a native DLL. On the other hand, PInvoke seems like it will take a huge amount of work, if it will work at all. The native DLL uses raw data buffers that are normally handed to it (via pointer) from another native function. If I'm piloting this with C#/PInvoke, how could those raw data buffers be created and immobilized? In C++/CLI, there is pin_ptr to...

I have been playing around with trying to PInvoke GDI+ from C#, I made recently made the transition from C/C++ to C# and I really like the language, however being the old fashioned programmer I am I don't like the idea of the framework slowing down my applications with uncessesary safety checks. So I decided to try and PInvoke into GDI+ directly so tweak some extra performance out of an application I am writing. But every time I try I get an...

Hey there, this will be somewhat a long post, but any response is appreciated! I have done many PInvoke in the past from C++ to C#, but I did PInvoke within C# not C++/CLI.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
