ASCII TO KEYPRESS CONVERSION TYPE PROPERTY

Property ID:

0x0F

Property Type:

Byte

Length:

1 byte

Get Property:

Yes

Set Property:

Yes

Default Value:

0 (keymap)

Description:

The value is a byte that represents the devices ASCII to keypress conversion
type. The value can be set to 0 for keymap (the active keymap is set with the
ACTIVE KEYMAP property) or to 1 for ALT ASCII code (international
keyboard emulation). When the value is set to 0 (keymap), data will be
transmitted to the host according to the active keymap which defaults to the
United States keyboard keymap. For example, to transmit the ASCII
character ‘?’ (063 decimal), the character is looked up in a keymap. For a
United States keyboard keymap, the ‘/’ (forward slash) key combined with the
left shift key modifier are stored in the keymap to represent the key press
combination that is used to represent the ASCII character ‘?’ (063 decimal).
When the value is set to 1 (ALT ASCII code), instead of using the key map,
an international keyboard key press combination consisting of the decimal
value of the ASCII character combined with the ALT key modifier is used.
For example, to transmit the ASCII character ‘?’ (063 decimal), keypad ‘0’ is
sent combined with left ALT key modifier, next keypad ‘6’ is sent combined
with the left ALT key modifier, last keypad ‘3’ is sent combined with the left
ALT key modifier. In general, if this device only needs to emulate United
States keyboards then this property should be set to 0 (keymap).
