FIX: Deadkey Not Accepted in Windows 95 Console Application

 * }

Q140456

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), used with:
 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
Deadkeys cannot be accepted as input to a Windows 95 Console application even when the appropriate keyboard layout is selected. ReadConsoleInput cannot read in deadkeys on Windows 95.

For example, pressing the circumflex (^)(the ~/` key on US keyboards) and then the letter e should produce an e with the circumflex on top. However, the combination keys do not print in a console application on a system running Windows 95 with a German keyboard selected.

CAUSE
Some of the code handling deadkey input to the console is missing from Windows 95.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Windows 2000.
