Perhaps the other programs are working in a different way? If you have the shiftkey down, and press a key, that would send a different raw character number than if you have the shiftkey up.
The other programs that work with the shiftkey on your keyboard might be detecting the raw character number that is sent when they shiftkey is down while you press a standard key, rather than detecting whether or not the shiftkey is actually down. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Howard Bornstein Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 4:09 PM To: Scott Rossi Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problems with Rev and Apple's Bluetooth wireless keyboard (??)

Per the TD for rawkeydown: "On Mac OS systems, no message is sent when a modifier key (Shift, Option, Control, or Command) is pressed, unless another key is pressed along with the modifier key."

It was lucky I found this by accident. Maybe I'll find the solution by accident also. :-) -- Regards, Howard Bornstein ----------------------- www.designeq.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
