Remarks

The keyboard device driver receives scan codes from the keyboard and interprets and translates (maps) them into virtual-key codes (device-independent values defined by the system to identify the purpose of a key).

IsKeyReleased	The key moved from a pressed to a released state. See Transition State Flag for more info.
IsMenuKeyDown	The Alt key (represented by the VirtualKey.Menu value) is currently pressed down.
RepeatCount	The number of times a key was pressed. See Repeat Count for more info.
