Subject: Re: different results for key and key modifier codes

Ralf,

vk_tab is just an enum (predefined constant) with a value of 9.  So it 
doesn't make sense to say:

If myVkCode = vk_Tab or myVkCode = 9 Then

This is just like saying:

If a = 3 or a = 3 Then

Also, I don't know why you had the 9 in quotes.  This "or" command isn't 
doing anything for you at all.  Just go into Immed and type:

print vk_tab

and you'll get 9.  So you can kill the or part.

As for the modifiers, if you look at the KeyModifiers this simply means 
your numlock is on with the German keyboard and off with the English 
keyboard.  You need to mask off this high bits of this if you aren't 
interested in them.

Regards,
Doug
