Direct Input 8.1: Keyboard Numbers -

I am using a keyboard as input for a game that a friend and I are writing. When using direct input, it sends a numerical code representing every key on the keyboard. I was curious of a way to convert that numerical code into the key name it represents. The only way I know of is a massive case select, but I would think there would be an easier way. Any suggestions?
