On a windows machine the equivalent keys for Mac's F13, F14 and

By Keycodes, I assume you mean the ascii values, not the keycode at
the hardware level, right?
No the actual Hardware Keycode itself. It's all described in the
Keyboard Module in the LR. Because the Function key trigger the
KeyDown event you can use that to write code to check for the
KeyCode. There's an example for checking the arrow keys using their
KeyCode instead of their ascii value. The purpose being that it would
be done using a Timer instead of a KeyDown event being triggered.
(Else, it can't be trusted).
Why not. The KeyCodes are cross platform and Universal for standard
US QWERTY keyboards. They even work on non-standard Keyboards but can
represent different ascii letters as many foreign keyboards have
their ascii equivalents on different keys. The keyboards themselves
return identical codes though.
Well, I didn't know they were different.
Two ways of approaching a problem are always better than one. ;-)
Thanks for the info.
You're welcome. It's all in the LR (so to speak).
