Hi John Not seeing it? The space bar produces a space character, which you can't see unless the app you are using can show invisible spaces, like Pages, Word, BBEdit and so on.
There are two kinds of keys on a computer keyboard: 1) character keys (think thing) 2) modifier keys (think state) The space bar is a character key. It's also invisible. The keys you mention (Caps, Shift, Command, Control, and Alt) are modifier keys. They have state (pressed or not) which you can detect by calling: Caps lock down Shift down Macintosh command down Macintosh control down Macintosh option down Windows Alt down Windows Ctrl down When the user is entering text, you could detect that the space bar was pressed (producing a space character) with the "Get edited text” command.

Probably simple and I’m not seeing it? ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
