I think it would be something like this no?
dword keys[array of all your key constants];
Then you can later do things like keys[up]=VK_UP;
Or am i way off track here?

DirectInput Key bindings
Author
Just wondering what is the general method to remap keys to work with directinput.
You actually need a UCHAR keymap[256];
You then set the data format, acquire the keyboard, and then in your main loop get the keyboard key info with a call to IDIRECTINPUTDEVICE2::GetDeviceState();
You then set the data format, acquire the keyboard, and then in your main loop get the keyboard key info with a call to IDIRECTINPUTDEVICE2::GetDeviceState();
Once you have that, you can use the keymap variable in an array, like this:
if(keyword[DIK_ESCAPE] & 0x80)
{
// escape is pressed, do something!
}
The DIK_* constants are DirectInput specific, they're not the win32 ones, and are probably explained in the SDK.
I hope this has helped. It is possible that some of the things I said don't make sense, I'm in the middle of my exams and haven't touched my compiler for 2 weeks or so.
