Hi all
Does anybody know if it is possible to detect whether a modifier key (i.e. CTRL, ALT or SHIFT) was down when the mouse was clicked? I believe it's possible in some languages/frameworks but not in VFP. Would I be correct or is there some way of doing this?
Many thanks
Paul Newton
Maybe trapping something in the MouseUp event? It seems like it does capture that info.

Putting this in the MouseUp event of a textbox shows all the values captured:
WAIT WINDOW TRANSFORM(nButton)+[ - ]+TRANSFORM(nShift)+[ - ]+TRANSFORM(nXCoord)+[ - ]+TRANSFORM(nYCoord)
The only combination that didn't seem to return anything was all 3 modifier keys pressed. Hopefully you're not looking to trap CTRL-ALT-SHIFT.

Hi Paul,
You will need to save the value of nShift in the MouseDown event, then reference it in the Click event.
HTH, Tracy

Hi Tracy No need to save the value of nShift in the MouseDown - Just check it in MouseUp as Richard suggested. Paul

Hi Paul,
What happens when you click on a different control, drag the mouse to the button, then release the mouse click?
Users have random mouse clicks.
