When a keyboard key is depressed, the keyboard driver posts the message message::key_down to the queue of the thread that has the input focus. Likewise, when a keyboard key is released, the keyboard driver posts the message message::key_up. This function generates and posts the message message::character on the key down transition.
The message for which this function is called remains unmodified.
