What is the windows api virtual keycode for the ` key(the one next to the 1 key), i can't seem to find it anywhere on google or msdn.

I have never had this problem. Whenever I need a keycode for anything, I make a tiny utility (or hack the existing program) so that it spits out the keycode in a message box when I press the key or use charmap.exe. Are you looking for a macro or something?

Yeah, the other keys are in macros like VK_SHIFT..

I make my own macro's. Not sure why you would need to use theirs....
But regardless, if its the official macro your after, here's an official link straight to the source of your question.

The key I'm looking for isn't there, but I used your idea. I setup a breakpoint and looked at what key code was being sent to my program when i pressed ` and it was 192, so I made my own macro to represent it. And btw, I use their macros because I can't be bothered writing my own xD

I make my own because I can't be bothered decrypting their horribly worded macro's and soiling up my code with someone else's words in there, especially if all it is is just a simple number representing a character.
So to me its all about readability since I am not limited to their naming convention by making my own macro, and since its still a macro, its portable for different keyboard's.
