/*
 * KeySniffer.c
 * 
 * KeySniffer shows the use of key sniffers to intercept and process raw 
 * keystrokes.  This one creates a window where all data about the keystroke
 * is displayed.
 * 
 * Key strokes have two sets of character data.  The ASCII key code is a valid
 * ASCII value.  This value discriminates between the A key with and without shift
 * (e.g. 'A' and 'a') but does not discriminate between numbers on the main 
 * keyboard vs. numeric keypad.  Virtual key codes tell exactly what physical key
 * was pressed (e.g. top-row-0 vs. num-pad-0) but do not change by modifier keys.
 * Modifier keys are returned separately.
 * 
 * ASCII codes are good for handling text entry; virtual key codes are good for 
 * setting up key commands (since they allow for separate binding of the numeric
 * key pad).
 *
