Virtual-Key Codes

Any app to show me the Virtual-Key Codes of keys pressed?

I'm interested to find out the codes for my mouse buttons (G5).

I'm playing with SPlayer. And they removed the interface for customizing the hotkeys. So I need to manually edit the "SPlayer.key" file to get the result I want. But I don't know the VK's for mouse buttons 4, 5, for wheel tilt etc.
I was hoping there is such an app already, as programming is too far from my knowledge ... I wonder if any of the keyloggers could show me that info, although I hate those apps...

I think it could be done in AutoIt?!

The Virtual-Key Codes page you linked to is for Windows CE 5.0 and is missing some VK_'s.

Try Virtual-Key Codes (Windows).
And List of Virtual-Key Codes.

I assume you've already tried VK's 5 and 6; VK_XBUTTON1 0x05, VK_XBUTTON2 0x06.

I have an AutoIt script that I used for a mouse that was doing weird things when R/L clicking.

Code:

#include <misc.au3>
While 1
    Sleep(10)
    For $i=0 To 255
        If _IsPressed($i) Then
            MsgBox(0,"Key Pressed - "&Chr( $i ),"ASCII = '"& $i &"'")
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

Here it is compiled:

Well, thank you very much!
You helped me a lot!
I've got them keys just the way I want, now!

Nice simple Script Ruby, didn't know you knew AutoIt. I have similar script which uses _WinAPI_IsPressed() And for some reasons Chr($i) doesn't return the character pressed. I tried ChrW() but it was the same problem!
