identifying keyboard type

hi
I am using a GUI language (based on C/C++) for my application. Now i need to identify the "Again" key in the Sun keyboard. I tried to do this by getting the ascii value (4155)of it . it was fine. but it is clashing with F12, whose ascii is 4155 in normal keyboards. Due to this either one of them is working.
Is there any way of identifyng the keyboard type.(Sun/normal) or distinguishing between the two keys..

Thanks
