[ros-dev] Strange code into ToUnicodeEx().

[carlo.bramix]

Hello,
I debugged a bit on ReactOS because I wanted to understand why  my (newer upcoming) version of ReactOS Calc doesn't work when you press some keys on the keyboard.
The cause of the problem is this piece of code:

int STDCALL ToUnicodeEx( UINT wVirtKey,
                         UINT wScanCode,
                         PBYTE lpKeyState,
                         LPWSTR pwszBuff,
                         int cchBuff,
                         UINT wFlags,
                         HKL dwhkl )
{
   int ToUnicodeResult = 0;

if (0 == (lpKeyState[wVirtKey] & KS_DOWN_BIT))
   {
      ToUnicodeResult = 0;
   }
   else
   {
......

In other words, a key can be translated only if it's pressed and not during the release stage.
Is there a reason for this choice?

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini
