Most of the time, the function you really want is GetKeyState. That function reflects the state of the thread's input queue. That state gets updated as the OS processes wm_KeyDown and wm_KeyUp messages. If you receive a wm_Click message before you release the Shift key, then the wm_Click is sooner in the queue than the wm_KeyUp message, so when you call GetKeyState in the wm_Click handler, the Shift key will appear to still be down, even if the user has already let go. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
