[DUG]: Detecting Key press values

[Colin R Dillicar]

Hi all,     I'm sure there must be a very simple solution to this. I used to do  the equivalent back in Borland Pascal V2   I have an Edit Control with which I trap the 'OnKeyDown' event as well as building the normal 'text' string.   When reading the value of Key in the KeyDown event, how do I differentiate between the value of say the '7' key and its shifted equivalent '&'' ? The value of 'Key' remains the same, however the 'Text' field knows the (character) difference so I should be able to also.   Used to be that I read the value of the 'Key' a second time if it returned (I think) 0 the first time using ReadKey   Please remind me, or point me in the right direction. I can't find it in the Help   Cheers       Colin   PS     How can I find the respondent's personal address in order to thank them for help?    I'm sure it's not a subject for the general list but often it's not possible to be courteous.
