KbdGetCp

This call allows a process to query the code page being used to translate scan codes to ASCII characters.

 KbdGetCp (Reserved, CodePageID, KbdHandle)

• Reserved (ULONG) - input: Reserved and must be set to zero.
• CodePageID (PUSHORT) - output: Address of the code page ID located in the application's data area. The keyboard support copies the current code page ID for a specified keyboard handle into this word. The code page ID is equivalent to one of the code page IDs specified in the CONFIG.SYS CODEPAGE = statement or 0000.
• KbdHandle (HKBD) - input: Default keyboard or the logical keyboard.

rc (USHORT) - return:Return code descriptions are:

• 0 NO_ERROR
• 373 ERROR_KBD_PARAMETER
• 439 ERROR_KBD_INVALID_HANDLE
• 445 ERROR_KBD_FOCUS_REQUIRED
• 447 ERROR_KBD_KEYBOARD_BUSY
• 464 ERROR_KBD_DETACHED
• 504 ERROR_KBD_EXTENDED_SG

The CodePageID is the currently active keyboard code page. A value of 0 indicates the code page translation table in use is the ROM code page translation table provided by the hardware.
