GetKeyState returns a Byte. As the documentation states, if the high-order bit is set, then it means the key you asked about is currently down, the "and $80" masks out all the other bits. If the one remaining bit is set, then the result will be non-zero. > It seems like you are > checking to see if the F1 Key is down, but if so then why is "if > (key=VK_F1)" even necessary?

Otherwise, you'll be checking for *any* key being pressed while the Shift key is down. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
