Does any one know of a way to do keyboard routine that is cross-platform? I need an alternative to VK_F1 (XK_F1 on linux)? MSDN said that keys on the keyboard have a hexidecimal value. Anyone know how to interpret them?

SDL will do this for you, among many, many other crossplatform things

I don''t like SDL because I can''t get it to work. Plus, if I can do it myself I would rather, so I can build it to suit my needs; that way I can trim the fat from my prog''s.
