LabVIEW / WINNT Keyboard scan?

Hi,

I am using LabVIEW 5.1.1 with WINNT 4.0 and need a "good" routine or
pointer to a keyboard scan that can be fine tuned so PC resources are
not strangled. I appreciate any help with this one!

I'm not 100% sure I know what you are looking for, but the NI ftp site
contains some VIs that give you access to key events in LV. They return
a cluster of keys and modifier info like shift and ctl. They will give
you key down events only, not key up, and they exist for all platforms.

I believe you will find them in the LV31 directory, but they will load up
into LV5 or 5.1 just fine. There are probably similar VIs at other sites
on the LV web ring. You should be able to jump on the web ring at the NI
site or at the umass site.

About what archive are you talking? I only found "keyboard.zip", containig a
lot of handy VIs, but with CIN's where only the Windows code is loaded. ????
