I need to find occurences of é ou è in a mysql table. First tried : SELECT "LéL" like "%é%"; which doesn't work : it returns word containing e or é or è.

ToAscii/ToUnicode in a keyboard hook destroys dead keys.

It seems that if you call ToAscii() or ToUnicode() while in a global WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook, and a dead-key is pressed, it will be 'destroyed'. For example, say you've configured your input language in Windows as Spanish, and you want to type an accented letter á in a program. Normally, you'd press the single-quote key (the dead key), then...
