The function based on this prototype retrieves information about the keyboard and the driver.
Syntax
typedef BOOL (*PFN_KEYBD_DRIVER_GET_INFO)(
INT iKeybdId,
INT iIndex,
LPVOID lpOutput
);
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
iKeybdId |
[in] Ignored. |
iIndex |
For Windows Embedded CE: [in] Identifier of the information to retrieve. The following table shows the identifiers and their descriptions.
Identifier Description
KBDI_VKEY_TO_UNICODE_INFO_ID If iIndex is KBDI_VKEY_TO_UNICODE_INFO_ID, lpOutput must point to a KBDI_VKEY_TO_UNICODE_INFO structure.
KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_INFO_ID Returns the auto-repeat settings that apply to all keyboards. If iIndex is KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_INFO_ID, lpOutput must point to a KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_INFO structure.
KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_SELECTIONS_INFO_ID Returns various minimums and maximums related to the auto-repeat rate. If iIndex is KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_SELECTIONS_INFO_ID, lpOutput must point to an array of the following INT32 values:

iIndex |
For Windows Mobile: [in] Identifier of the information to retrieve. The following table shows the identifiers and their descriptions.
Identifier Description
KBDI_VKEY_TO_UNICODE_INFO_ID If iIndex is KBDI_VKEY_TO_UNICODE_INFO_ID, lpOutput must point to a KBDI_VKEY_TO_UNICODE_INFO structure.
KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_INFO_ID Returns the auto-repeat settings that apply to all keyboards. If iIndex is KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_INFO_ID, lpOutput must point to a KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_INFO structure.
KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_SELECTIONS_INFO_ID Returns various minimums and maximums related to the auto-repeat rate. If iIndex is KBDI_AUTOREPEAT_SELECTIONS_INFO_ID, lpOutput must point to an array of the following INT32 values:
KBDI_SHIME_MODE_ID Returns the keyboard driver IME mode. If iIndex is KBDI_SHIME_MODE_ID, lpOutput must point to a DWORD containing one of the following values:
|
lpOutput |
[out] Pointer to the output buffer. The size of the buffer that must be available at this address depends on iIndex. |
Return Value
TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To obtain extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
This function must be re-entrant because the Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem (GWES) exposes it through the KeybdGetDeviceInfo function and multiple threads can call it.
In Windows CE .NET 4.1 and earlier, the iIndex parameter was used to return the size necessary for the ToUnicodeState parameter and the maximum number of Unicode characters that a single virtual-key code can generate. Layout Manager does not need a ToUnicodeState parameter and it can return a maximum of two characters for a single virtual-key code, including dead keys. The ToUnicodeState parameter was formerly used by the ALT + numeric keypad remapping, but in Windows CE .NET 4.2 and later, Layout Manager uses a static variable for this.
