Inkey$ replacement for PBWin

[Gösta H. Lovgren-2]

Forget it, was close but no cigar {oh well}

Gösta,

look for SUB GWInkey(lInstat AS LONG, sKey$, keyshift AS INTEGER) in GrButtons.inc :

You create and attach a GRAPHIC WINDOW and then call GWInkey().

When lInstat is true, the last key stroke can be read from sKey$.
Independent of that keyshift returns the status of the Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys.

All those variables are compatible with INSTAT, INKEY$ and INSHIFT of PB/CC.
The routine detects more keys than the standard GRAPHIC INKEY such as TAB, Alt Fxx etc. (except keypad keys).

Does this come close to what you meant?

Best regards,
Gert.
