Virtual Key Codes

This is a raw list of the virtual key codes that Windows generates. These values are passed back by various events and messages sent to or from Windows.

This is a very raw list. As a matter of fact, all I did was to copy these from winuser.h. It is just the constant names - but this should suffice. Most of the constant names are fairly self explanatory.
