Processing the TAB key

[mark smit]

Hello Everyone,

I need some advice on WM_KEYUP/DOWN. I can process the TAB key by itself but I also want to know if the SHIFT key has been pressed. I have tried looking into WM_CHAR and WM_KEYUP/DOWN and they dont seem to have any flags that indicate the SHIFT key status. Just so everyone knows what this is about, its for a grid control I'm making. I wanted to mimic the keyboard control that Excell uses. Any helpfull hints would be greatly appreciated!

Mark,

Look at GetKeyState below.

    CASE %WM_KEYDOWN 

         SELECT CASE wParam& 

         CASE %VK_TAB 

              IF (GetKeyState(%VK_SHIFT) AND &h8000) THEN kShift& = %TRUE
